In 1970, he was posthumously awarded the Order of Merit for National Foundation (Grand Order of Mugunghwa). The memorial hall displays photographic records on the walls, including a chronology of Godang Jo Man-sik, his handwritten calligraphy (1932), a poster of the Korean Products Promotion Movement, and photos from the unveiling ceremony of his statue.
