New Online Exhibit

Can't visit the Museum in person but still want to "join the crew"? Check out our newest interactive online exhibit, where you can experience the life of a sailor aboard "Old Ironsides" during the War of 1812!

Based on the award-winning in-person exhibit All Hands on Deck, Join the Crew is an immersive, research-based online experience that integrates humanities themes with dynamic interactive elements for a virtual audience. The exhibit uses artifact imagery, video shorts, games, quizzes, and at-home activities to explore the lives of real USS Constitution crew members and their families during the War of 1812. This online exhibit has been made possible by a National Endowment for the Humanities: CARES Act Grant.
