The 9th and 10th Horse Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers Museum’s mission is to educate, preserve and present the history and outstanding contributions made by America's Buffalo Soldiers from 1866-1944, including WWII (1941-1945). The mission is achieved through educational programs, historic research, youth outreach programs and exhibits. The museum creates and disseminates knowledge about the history of the Buffalo Soldiers and their service and contributions. This is the story of the building of the Western Frontier. This is the forgotten story of American History.
