National Museum of the United States Army Site Act of 2001

The National Museum of the United States Army Site Act of 2001 (S. 571) was a legislative proposal to officially designate Fort Belvoir, Virginia, as the permanent location for the Army’s national museum. The bill sought to provide a centralized site to preserve and display the history and heritage of the U.S. Army for the public. While this specific bill did not become law during that session, its objective was eventually realized, leading to the opening of the museum at Fort Belvoir in 2020.
