Military History Center of the Carolinas

Overview

The Military History Center of the Carolinas (MHCC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving U.S. military history, honoring veterans, and engaging in community service. Established from a club formed in the mid-1990s, MHCC became a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization in 2009[1].

Mission

The primary mission of MHCC is to collect, restore, and exhibit historical military items with the aim of educating the public about U.S. military history. MHCC also organizes community events to promote historical awareness and appreciation[1][2].

Activities

MHCC is known for its extensive collection of military artifacts and its commitment to restoring historical items. The organization has participated in over 200 events across the Upstate region from 2009 to 2022, showcasing these items to a diverse audience[1]. MHCC's efforts include establishing a modern military museum where people can learn about the stories behind significant historical dates and events[2].

Museum

The Military History Center of the Carolinas Museum is located at the Greenville Downtown Airport and serves as a focal point for MHCC's activities. The museum offers free admission, though donations are welcomed to support its operations and improvement. It is open on weekends, with special arrangements possible for large groups and field trips[2][3].

Affiliations and Grants

MHCC is affiliated with several organizations, including the Piedmont Scale Modelers, Military Vehicle Preservation Association, and the South Carolina Federation of Museums[3]. The center received a Bridge Grant from South Carolina Humanities, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities under the CARES Act, enhancing its ability to educate and serve the community[3].

Community Engagement

MHCC's diverse membership includes veterans, non-veterans, and individuals of all ages who work together to achieve its mission. The organization invites others to join and contribute to its efforts, aiming to establish a comprehensive U.S. military history museum[1].
