Alagöz Karargâh Museum, when the enemy advanced to the vicinity of Polatlı during the Battle of Sakarya, the Western Front Command selected the village of Alagöz between Ankara and Polatlı as the Front Headquarters. The farm house belonging to Türkoğlu Ali Ağa from the villagers of this village was used as the headquarters.

At the end of the Battle of Sakarya, the building was used as a house by its owners Ali Türkoğlu and his sons until 1965. In 1965 it was transferred by their heirs to the Ministry of National Education. In 1967, the building, which was transferred to the Anıtkabir Museum Directorate under the General Directorate of Old Works and Museums, was restored and turned into a museum.

On 10 November 1968 only the upper floor was arranged and opened to the public, while the rooms on the lower floor were opened to the public with a new arrangement made in 1983.

The building is two‑storey and consists of 12 rooms: Clothing Room, Library and Souvenir Room, Zabitan Dining Room, Kitchen, Communication Room, Chief Commander’s Room, Staff Committee Room, Rest Room, Young Officers’ Room, Atatürk’s Bedroom, Atatürk’s Dining Room and Service Entrance Room.
