Honoring Our Legacy

In 2005, a group of community members led by the late Kenny Rowlette founded the Civil War Chaplains Museum. We are deeply grateful to those early supporters who laid the foundation for what is now the Liberty University Chaplains Museum.

Rowlette, a former Liberty professor, had a passion for history, and his dedication to education continues to guide our mission. At the Chaplains Museum, we are committed to showcasing the sacrificial servant leadership of U.S. Military Chaplains throughout American history.
