National Museum of Patriotism

November 15, 2023

The National Museum of Patriotism was a museum in Atlanta, Georgia, which was founded by retired UPS executive Nicholas Snider. At its peak, the museum occupied a 10,000-square-foot site on Spring Street in Midtown Atlanta.[1] It was closed in 2010 and became online-only.[2][3][4]

History edit

The National Museum of Patriotism was founded by Nicholas D. Snider, a former vice president of the United Parcel Service. It was located in Atlanta, Georgia, opening its premises at 1405 Spring Street on July 4, 2004,[5] and transferred to 275 Baker Street in the Centennial Olympic Park near the Georgia Aquarium and The World of Coca-Cola.[6][7] Jim Balster was the museum's first executive director, followed by Jim Stapleton and Pat Stansbury.[8]

In April 2009, the Patriotism in Entertainment and Music exhibit was opened in a ceremony attended by Kenny Gamble, Miss USO (Heidi-Marie Ferren) and Patti LaBelle.[9] At the same time, the museum inaugurated its Patriot Award, whose recipients included LaBelle and Gamble, Lee Greenwood, Cowboy Crush, The Bob Hope Foundation, and Access Hollywood.[9]

Closure edit

In July 2010, the museum was forced to close, so it rebranded itself as the 'National Foundation Of Patriotism' and planned an online virtual museum.[6][10] The museum then auctioned off some of its exhibits and artifacts.[11][12]
