博物館於1964年以 Museum of History and Technology 之名落成開放,座落於 McKim, Mead & White 建築事務所最後操刀設計的經典建築之一。作為 Smithsonian 旗下的一員,館內收藏逾170萬件藏品,細緻呈現美國歷史與民情風貌。鎮館之寶莫過於原版「星條旗」(Star-Spangled Banner)——這面長30呎、寬34呎的要塞旗幟曾啟發 Francis Scott Key 創作國歌;如今陳列於五層高天窗中庭旁、特設低光恆溫的獨立展廳之中。此外,訪客還可在此飽覽歷任第一夫人的就職禮服、民權運動象徵 Greensboro lunch counter、1831年的 John Bull 蒸汽火車頭,以及在 Entertainment Nation 展廳發掘流行文化的經典瑰寶。全館免費入場,無需預先索取門票。
