Driving Directions to the museum
From the MOPAC Expressway (aka, Loop 1).
Exit the MOPAC Expressway at 35th Street.
Drive west 6/10ths of a mile past the old main gate, which is now
barricaded, and go through the light at Exposition, and down a steep hill.
At the bottom of
the hill, just before a flashing traffic signal, you will see the
gated entrance of Camp Mabry to your right (i.e., Maintenance Drive).
After passing through security, go straight to the stop sign and
turn right. At the next stop sign, turn right again. Follow General
Mabry Boulevard past the running track on your left. Building 6 will
be on your right, next to an outdoor display of tanks and military
vehicles. The main entrance for the Museum is the large white double
doors at the center of the building.
From IH-35. Make certain you are on the lower level of the
Interstate. Take the 38½ Street exit going west. Note that as it
proceeds westward, 38½ Street becomes 35th Street. After crossing
over Loop 1, follow the instructions above.
From the Airport. Take Highway 71 West to Highway 360 North
to Loop 1 North. Travel five (5) miles on Loop 1 to 35th Street.
Follow the instructions above from that point.
Entering Camp Mabry. At the current time, the post is open to
the public during daylight hours without prior arrangements. The
security guards, however, may require you to present some form of
valid state or federal identification and to consent to a search of
the vehicle.
