The Alagöz Headquarters Museum is located in Alagöz Village, which was chosen as the Front Headquarters by the Western Front Command during the Battle of Sakarya. This decision was made after the enemy advanced towards Polatlı. The farmhouse of Türkoğlu Ali Ağa, a resident of the village, was used as the headquarters. Today, the Alagöz Headquarters Museum stands as a testament to the important role that this location played during the Sakarya War.

After the Sakarya War, the building was owned and used as a house by Ali Türkoğlu and his sons until 1965. At that point, ownership was transferred to the Ministry of National Education by Türkoğlu's heirs. In 1967, the building was restored and converted into a museum under the Anıtkabir Museum Directorate, which is part of the General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums. Today, visitors can explore the historical significance of the building and learn about its transformation into a museum.

The upper floor of the Alagöz Headquarters Museum was arranged and opened for exhibition on November 10, 1968. However, the lower floor rooms were not opened to visitors until 1983, when a new arrangement was made.

The building housing the Alagöz Headquarters Museum is a two-story structure that includes 12 rooms, namely the Dressing Room, Library and Souvenirs Room, Officers' Dining Room, Kitchen, Combat Room, Commander-in-Chief Room, Staff Room, Resting Room, Yaveler's Room, Atatürk's Bedroom, Atatürk's Dining Room, and Service Man's Room.
