该馆建于1964年,最初名为Museum of History and Technology,座落于建筑事务所McKim, Mead & White设计的最后一批建筑之一,隶属于Smithsonian。馆内藏有超过170万件藏品,生动记录着美国的历史发展进程。其镇馆之宝是原版“星条旗”(Star-Spangled Banner)——正是这面长30英尺、宽34英尺的要塞驻军旗帜激发了Francis Scott Key的创作灵感;它如今陈列在五层通顶采光中庭旁一间光线幽暗的恒温恒湿展厅内。此外,馆内还展出历任第一夫人的就职典礼礼服、著名的Greensboro午餐吧台、1831年的John Bull蒸汽机车,以及在Entertainment Nation展区呈现的流行文化经典珍藏。博物馆免费开放,无需门票。
