T. Stell Newman Visitor Center
About This Museum
Tucked away on Old Army Road in Apra Harbor, the T. Stell Newman Visitor Center is your essential first stop for understanding Guam's profound role in the Pacific War. You're immediately drawn into the narrative by a massive, two-story mural depicting the 1944 liberation landings, setting a powerful tone for the entire experience. The exhibits inside feel incredibly personal, connecting global events to the real-life stories of the Chamorro people who endured the occupation. It’s far more than a museum; it’s a deeply moving and human-centered history lesson.
Collection Highlights
The centerpiece is a dramatic diorama of the Battle of Guam, but it's the smaller artifacts—like handmade items from survival camps and personal accounts from local families—that truly resonate and stick with you long after your visit.
Visitor Information
Best of all, it's completely free to enter! It's conveniently located right near the main gate of Naval Base Guam, so it's an easy and absolutely worthwhile detour before you head out to explore the island's war memorials and beaches.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is modern and functional, with a clean, airy design that feels more like a welcoming community center than a formal institution.
