Join us in recognizing the service of veterans and their families.

Throughout Veterans Day Weekend at the Museum, we’ll be giving a token of our gratitude to each veteran visitor, offering special veterans-only tours of the Ship, inviting military families to visit with free admission, providing maker activities, and hosting a write-a-thon to collect letters of gratitude for the veteran community.

USS Constitution Tours for Veterans Sunday, November 10 at 11:00am Monday, November 11 at 2:00pm

We’re offering two special, behind-the-scenes tours of USS Constitution just for veterans during Veterans Day weekend.

All veteran participants will receive a special gift from the Museum: a U.S. flag flown aboard “Old Ironsides.” Guests will need to use ladder-wells to travel between decks of the historic Ship.

Tours are approximately 1 hour long.

Please note, this is a guided tour of the Ship, not an underway cruise.

Space is limited and advance registration is required!
