George C. Marshall Museum
George C. Marshall Museum Review
The George C. Marshall Museum preserves the memory of the World War II army chief of staff. Exhibits trace his brilliant career, which began when he was aide-de-camp to John "Black Jack" Pershing in World War I and culminated when, as secretary of state, he devised the Marshall Plan, a strategy for reviving postwar Western Europe. Marshall's Nobel Peace Prize is on display; so is the Oscar won by his aide Frank McCarthy, who produced the Academy Award-winning Best Picture of 1970, Patton. An electronically narrated map tells the story of World War II.
