The Zephyrhills Museum of Military History, located in Zephyrhills, Florida, is housed in a former World War II infirmary building. During the early 1940s, the site served as the Zephyrhills Army Airfield, a training ground for combat pilots. After the war, the airfield was donated to the city, and the infirmary was preserved and transformed into the museum.
