The Tennessee Wings of Liberty Museum in Clarksville, Tenn., will open to the public Friday, May 19, 2026 and will be the second-largest museum in the nation’s Army-museum enterprise.

“The new Wings of Liberty Museum is a long-awaited milestone for our community, serving as a place of pride and reflection for residents and a meaningful destination for visitors—highlighting Montgomery County’s deep military connection and honoring the sacrifices made in defense of our freedoms,” said Montgomery County Mayor Wes Golden. “The museum is expected to attract crowds of visitors each year, strengthening local tourism and generating an estimated $17 million to $20 million in regional economic impact with engaging exhibits that tell the story of Fort Campbell’s history for all ages.”
