Celebrating 45 Years of the USS Constitution Museum
Since the USS Constitution Museum opened in its current location on April 8, 1976, we have been engaging all ages in the stories of USS Constitution through our immersive exhibits and programs. Read more about the Museum's 45-year journey on our blog.
On April 8, Museum President & CEO Anne Grimes Rand will commemorate the 45th anniversary by firing the morning cannon on "Old Ironsides" at 8:00am. Immediately following that ceremony, USS Constitution's Commanding Officer, John Benda, and Anne will share their favorite Museum and Ship memories. They will head to the Museum for remarks and a ribbon cutting at 8:30am. The celebration will be streamed live on the Museum and Ship Facebook pages.
It is also a milestone year for Anne, who celebrates her 35th year at the Museum. Her courageous and positive leadership is a guiding force at the Museum; especially as we ready for the next chapter in our history.
This year, we couldn't be happier to celebrate our birthday by reopening to the public on April 8. Plan your visit and help us celebrate this milestone anniversary!
