Military Ceremonies
Upholding the 1918 Building’s military heritage, this is the ideal place to honor the service and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans and their families.
The 1918 Building is available to host military events:
Retirements
Promotions
Reenlistments
Banquets
Our building sits facing the historic Parade Ground at Jefferson Barracks, where thousands of soldiers trained from 1826 through today. The 1890s-era barracks buildings overlook these memorable fields.
Inside, the building is elegantly decorated with historic photographs of the soldiers at Jefferson Barracks, allowing you and your guests time to reflect on the long history and heritage of this historic site.
