The American Frontier: Settling the Story
Bringing to Life the Diverse Voices That Have Echoed Across the Plains Since the Early 1800s
Honoring the Enduring Pioneering Spirit
Without the frontier, the America we know today wouldn’t exist. The Frontier Museum of the U.S. Army Foundation’s mission is to trek into America’s frontier past, uncovering the stories of those who shaped our nation’s enduring pioneering spirit.
From Native American tribes and explorers to trappers, settlers, resilient women, military leaders, soldiers, religious communities and more—every story deserves to be carried forward into our nation’s future.
Carrying the Frontier’s Legacy into America’s Future
Imagine a premier museum that honors America’s frontier history, not through the usual military or Hollywood lens, but instead through the diverse stories of the people who explored, settled, and shaped our nation.
On a Mission
Frontier Museum of the U.S. Army Foundation’s mission is to raise funds for constructing, and later supporting, the Frontier Museum of the U.S. Army at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas.
