The Debert Military Heritage Society maintains Debert's military history with a thirteen-room museum located in "Colchester Park". The Debert Military Museum is currently run independently and has a diverse collection of military memorabilia from both World Wars as well as the Cold War, Vietnam War and Korean War. The museum features items donated by members and family members of the Canadian and British militaries, including uniforms, decorations, communications equipment and documents. It no longer offers tours of the bunker, while still retaining information and artefacts about it.

Famous quotes containing the words military and/or museum:
“War both needs and generates certain virtues; not the highest, but what may be called the preliminary virtues, as valour, veracity, the spirit of obedience, the habit of discipline. Any of these, and of others like them, when possessed by a nation, and no matter how generated, will give them a military advantage, and make them more likely to stay in the race of nations.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“One can think of life after the fish is in the canoe.”
—Hawaiian saying no. 23, ‘lelo No’Eau, collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui, Bishop Museum Press, Hawaii (1983)
