- California State Military Museum
The California State Military Museum is the official military museum of the State of California. It is located in the Old Sacramento State Historic Park at 1119 Second Street.
The museum was begun 1991 during the administration of California Governor Pete Wilson. 11 years later Governor Gray Davis made it a permanent museum under the California State Military Department, providing it permanent funding. On 13 July 2004, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger made it the state's official military museum.
The museum highlights contributions of individuals and units from California in the US military, and its various military operations and wars.
In addition to its main location in Sacramento, the museum has five satellite museums at Camp Roberts in southern Monterey County, Camp San Luis Obispo, Fresno Air National Guard Base, the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base in Orange County and the National Guard Armory in San Diego.
