About Us
Ralph Barrale, Sr. wanted to see a Veterans Museum that would honor all of those Veterans who served our country, and especially those from St. Charles County. This was but another example of Ralph Barrale’s dedication to our servicemen and women and his desire to keep their memories in the forefront of the generations of today so that our Veterans will not be forgotten.
The museum opened in the spring of 2019. There you will find “Ralph’s Story” among others like his, who served our country, because Ralph felt:
“No one is ever gone, as long as someone still has memories of them.“
The museum is open for tours Wednesday - Saturday. Admission into the museum is FREE; donations are always appreciated.
If you have more than 10 people in your party, please call ahead so we can ensure we have enough tour guides to accommodate your group.
