Arcadia Veterans Local History Room 


Honoring All Who Served
The Arcadia Veterans Local History Room is a permanent exhibit space dedicated to veterans from the City of Arcadia. The exhibit honors veterans of all ages from all branches of service.

We invite Arcadia's veterans to contribute to the pages of the Veterans' Registry and Blue Star Registry, which are on display. Forms for the Registry are available in the exhibit and can be downloaded at the link below. Family members of deceased veterans are also encouraged to participate.



New Display Case for Arcadia Veterans Local History Room 

In 2025, the Friends of the Arcadia Museum fundraised for the Gilb Museum to create a new enclosed display case that protects military artifacts, allows more items to be on display, and provides environmental control for the artifacts.
