U.S. Military Uniform Museum Exhibit

The U.S. Military Uniform Museum Exhibit, located on the 2nd floor of the Atlantic Antique Mall features a rotating display of military memorabilia from the private collection of owner Gary Goldfarb.

Currently on display are more than 125 artifacts dating back to as early as the 1850s, including slouch hats, campaign hats and jackets, pants, winter wear, fatigues, frock coats and more. The display spotlights United States military wear from the Civil War to the turn of the Century which includes the Spanish American War.

Of special interest is the collection of very rare headgear and the extensive array of rare and unusual frock coats once donned by high-ranking officers. Military uniforms, much like fashion in general, experience trends as style changes throughout the years.

Goldfarb has acquired an extensive knowledge of military memorabilia since he began delving into the subject more than 20 years ago. His passion has grown along with his collection, which currently numbers over 1000 United States military uniforms and nearly 5,000 vintage articles in total – one of the largest private collection of its kind in the country.
