August at the Museum

Register for Family Firepower on July 22 at 2 p.m.! Experience "Old Ironsides" in a new way–as recruits on her historic gun crew! Participating families will learn about the tools and teamwork behind USS Constitution's firepower both at the Museum and on the Ship with a U.S. Navy sailor.

This program costs $5 per child (ages 10+) and $10 per adult.

Space is limited and registration is required for this in-person program.

Join us in-person on Tuesday, August 16 at 6 p.m. for a reception and panel discussion commemorating the role of United States Marines on USS Constitution.

Carl Herzog, Public Historian for the USS Constitution Museum, and Chief Petty Officer Elliott Fabrizio, Public Affairs Officer for USS Constitution, will discuss the history of the Marines and the arguments for their return to the decks of “Old Ironsides.”

Following the panel discussion, we will hold a special commemoration aboard USS Constitution to remember LT William S. Bush. LT Bush died during Constitution‘s battle with HMS Guerriere on August 19, 1812, making him the first U.S. Marine Corps officer killed in combat.

Registration is open to the public and voluntary donations are encouraged.
