The Reed Museum exhibits artifacts and interprets the historic contributions of the U.S. Army, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, from its formation in 1836 to the present day. Gallery exhibits take the visitor through a storyline, which emphasizes the traditions, service, and sacrifice of the Regiment and the important role the unit has played in the evolution of the U.S. Army and American military history.

The Reed Museum traces its connection to the Regiment to the late 1950s, when Regimental Headquarters was located in Merrill Barracks, Nürnberg, Germany. Initially called the " Trophy Room, because of its numerous sports trophies along with historic artifacts, the museum then functioned primarily as a Regimental command conference room and venue for ceremonies and special events.

In 1980, the Trophy Room was renamed and dedicated to Colonel Charles Hancock Reed just after his death. Colonel Reed was the 31st Colonel of the Regiment (then known as the 2^nd Cavalry Group) with Pattons 3rd Army during World War II. After the war, Reed continued to command the Regiment through its early constabulary period in Germany. After his retirement in 1949, Reed served for many years as the President of the 2nd Cavalry Association.

In 2010, the Reed Museum was reestablished on Rose Barracks, Vilseck, Germany. On 23 May 2013, the museum reopened with a new gallery, which currently provides Soldiers, families, and friends a chronological history of the Regiment from 1836 to the present.
