About
The Camp Forrest Foundation was founded to honor soldiers, civilians and communities by preserving and presenting the history and heritage of the men and
women of Camp Forrest; a major WWII military installation and other eras of military history of the United States.
The Camp Forrest Foundation supports museums and organizations dedicated to preserving military history and events. We do this through research, artifact
procurement, presentation of exhibits and education.
Meet Our Founder

In 2013, Dr. Elizabeth Taylor began her passion for researching Camp Forrest, located in Tullahoma, Tennessee. Her research and education have spanned nearly a decade.
In 2016, Dr. Taylor published her first book, Images of America: Camp Forrest, followed by Voices of Camp Forrest in World War II in 2019. The extensive knowledge Dr. Taylor has gained about Camp Forrest has established her as an expert on the subject.
In July 2021, Dr. Taylor, along with her colleagues, established the Camp Forrest Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization whose primary function is to research Camp Forrest, other U.S. wartimes, and related topics to create educational components for the general public.
The Camp Forrest Foundation office is located within the historic Baillet House in Tullahoma, Tennessee, which houses the William Northern Museum of Art and History (formerly the Tullahoma Fine Arts Center, Inc.). This location will feature a permanent educational exhibit on Camp Forrest and the William Northern Airfield, along with rotating military art and history exhibits in other galleries.
The Camp Forrest Foundation, in collaboration with the William Northern Museum, will offer seminars and lectures, gifts, and a full archival research facility.
