About this spot

Women's Army Corps Dorm

The Women's Army Corps Dorm, located in White Sands National Park in New Mexico, is a historic point of interest that offers a glimpse into the lives of women who served in the military during World War II. Built in 1942, the dorm was used as housing for female soldiers who were stationed at White Sands Missile Range.

Today, the dorm serves as a museum that tells the story of the Women's Army Corps and their contributions to the war effort. Visitors to the dorm can explore exhibits that showcase the daily life of a WAC soldier, including their uniforms, equipment, and personal belongings.

One of the unique things that visitors can see at the Women's Army Corps Dorm is the original barracks-style living quarters that the women used during their time at White Sands. The dorm also contains a recreation room, which has been restored to its original 1940s appearance, as well as a kitchen and dining area.

Visitors to the Women's Army Corps Dorm can learn about the challenges that women faced during their time in the military, as well as the important role that they played in the war effort. The museum is a great destination for anyone interested in military history, women's history, or World War II history.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
