Explore the Museum and Ship as you stop at different activity stations throughout the Navy Yard.
USS Constitution Museum – Scout Day
The Museum was incorporated in 1972 as a private, non-profit and non-government funded interpretive complement to USS Constitution, an active-duty U.S. Navy vessel, the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, and America’s Ship of State.
This allowed the Navy to clear Constitution’s decks of display cases so that visitors could see the Ship as a sailing vessel, rather than as a floating museum, and for artifacts to be cared for in proper environmental conditions.
On April 8, 1976, naval historian Samuel Eliot Morison cut the ribbon to open the Museum to the public in its present facility in Charlestown Navy Yard’s Building 22, located just across the pier from “Old Ironsides.”
