The Arizona Military Museum is operated by the Arizona National Guard Historical Society, a private non-profit corporation.
The officers and directors serve as docents, and they perform other necessary functions in conjunction with National Guard support to operate and maintain the museum.
The museum building is a significant part of Arizona's military history.
The raw adobe building was constructed in 1936 as a Depression-era public works project.
It served as a National Guard arsenal until World War II, when it was converted into a maintenance shop for German prisoners of war confined at a nearby POW camp.
