[2] The museum was inaugurated on April 17, 1986, at 1821 SW 9th Street in Little Havana, Miami by over 400 attendees, including politicians, Brigade 2506 veterans and Cuban exiles.

Alvarez y Gimeno (President), Luis Arrizurieta (Vice President), Antonio Zaora (Secretary), Raul Vallejo (Vice Secretary), Javier Souto (Organization Secretary), Guillermo Toledo Nieble (Vice Organization Secretary), Fulgencio Castro (Social Assistant), Luis Lamar (Treasurer), Feliciano Foyo (Vice Treasurer), Julio Gonzalez Rebull (Press & Propaganda), Agustin Navarro (Vice Press & Propaganda) In 2015, Frank de Varona, a veteran and author, attempted to nominate the building for historic registration, only to withdraw the nomination due to opposition from other veterans.

[5] According to Time Out Miami, the museum has "a small but interesting collection of ephemera and memorabilia" about the Bay of Pigs Invasion, including the Brigade 2506 flag held by Democratic President John F. Kennedy in his 1962 address.

[9] As governor, DeSantis again visited the museum on February 8, 2021, to introduce the COVID-19 vaccination program for veterans.
