The Hawaii Army Museum Society (HAMS) was chartered in 1976 as a not-for-profit- corporation 501 (c) 3 (EIN: 99-0170177) and led the effort to turn Battery Randolph into the U.S. Army Museum of Hawaii. HAMS continues in its mission to support the museum by funding the development and maintenance of its galleries and exhibits. HAMS also sponsors educational programs and tours that highlight the story of warriors who built a kingdom, soldiers who defended the islands, and local residents who served their country and sacrificed to keep it free.
