Western Front Headquarters Museum

Akşehir Western Front Headquarters Museum is the headquarters building that had an important place in the National War of Independence. The building was built in 1904-1905 by the Mayor of the period as the City Hall. It was allocated as the headquarters for the Western Front Command, which was moved to Akşehir on November, 1921, and the headquarters served in this building until August, 1922. The town hall, where the preparations and plans of the Great Offensive were made and the decision was made, was transferred to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 1964 to be turned into a museum. It was repaired and arranged and opened to visitors in 1966 under the name Atatürk and Ethnography Museum as a document of the days of hope and struggle. After the repair and arrangement made in 1981, its name was changed to the Western Front Headquarters Museum. Restoration and exhibition-organization arrangements were made in 1988-1995 and 2001, and it was reopened on July 5, 2001 in its current form.
