About
The Salvation Army’s Museum of the
West
The Salvation Army Museum of the West
The Salvation Army Museum of the West was dedicated in 2002
by General John Gowans (R). This ceremony was by no means
the beginnings of the effort in the Western Territory to preserve
our rich heritage. Since the 1970’s the USA Western
Territory has been collecting and housing artifacts and memorabilia
from the territory’s past. The majority of the current
catalog is composed of the items that were being sent during
this time period.
In 2002 the Western Territory cemented its commitment
to the preservation of its history by building and funding
a new museum and archive. The museum houses exhibits that
display various aspects of the territory’s history, such
as, uniforms from different periods, the music of the Army in
the West, the Army’s participation in the Rose Bowl Parade,
and many more.
The museum is open
daily, Monday through Friday, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. If
you would like to schedule a guided tour of the museum please
