According to wtop.com, "The museum will be the first in the nation to tell the branch’s 244-year history. It will be on a publicly accessible section of Fort Belvoir. Museum officials expect 750,000 visitors annually in the first year. Groundbreaking on the 185,000-square-foot (17,000-square-meter) facility began in 2016."
In 2011, Fort Belvoir was selected as the site for the museum. But the opening date has been postponed several times since then.
