| USS
Constitution Museum 28 Constitution Rd Charlestown Navy Yard Boston, MA 02129 617-242-1812 |
The USS
Constitution Museum was incorporated in 1972 as an interpretive complement
to the active duty naval vessel USS Constitution. In 1976, the private,
non-profit museum opened the doors in the present facility located just
across the pier from the still floating USS Constitution. The Museum houses
and displays artifacts related to the Ship’s history in interpretive
exhibitions offering the context of USS Constitution’s history. The
founding of the Museum enabled the Ship to clear the decks of display cases
so that visitors who tour aboard see a frigate ready to sail, rather than
a floating museum. |
