For this week’s North Carolina Thursdays post, I decided to look around Onslow County. There were a few places that looked interesting. I went with Montford Point Marines Museum in Jacksonville – https://web.archive.org/web/20180926110131/https://www.montfordpointmarines.org/MPMA%20MUSEUM.html (Wayback Machine link). COVID-19 protocols may be in effect.
You will need a visitor’s pass from Camp Lejeune https://www.lejeune.marines.mil/Base-Access/ if you don’t have military ID to access the museum. You can’t get the visitor’s pass from the Gilbert H. Johnson base.
Official Website: official website appears to be down; here’s the old website on Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20180926110131/https://www.montfordpointmarines.org/MPMA%20MUSEUM.html. Looks like the website went out sometime in 2019 as it was visible in 2018. Here’s the Camp Gilbert H. Johnson link: https://www.trngcmd.marines.mil/Units/South-Atlantic/MCCSSS/Camp-Johnson/SgtMaj-Gilbert-Johnson/. Also try this link: https://mpmalejeune10.org/museum/.
Hours and Admission
The museum is open to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Call (910) 554-0808. There appears to be a difference on the hours open so check before scheduling a visit
