The mission of the Tropic Lightning Museum is to collect, preserve, interpret, and exhibit the artifacts and related memorabilia which reflect the history of Schofield Barracks, 25th Infantry Division from 1941 to the present, and Wheeler Army Airfield.

Exhibits

The museum features three galleries-covering the history of the Post and Division. Explore the history of early Schofield Barracks and the grim conditions the U.S. Army had to overcome as it settled in the plains of central Oahu. Follow the 25th Infantry Division throughout the Pacific and experience the battles waged and won by our brave soldiers in combat—WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and more. Discover what the 25th Infantry soldiers are doing today-the strides that they are making toward democracy and peace, as well as the sacrifice made by our honored soldiers.
