Featured on NBC's Today Show, CBS Evening News, Fox News, USA Today, Washington Post, and the Travel Channel, walk in the steps of heroes at the Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum. Guests can step aboard two museum ships: the USS Yorktown CV-10, an Essex-class aircraft carrier, and the USS Laffey DD-724, a Sumner-class naval destroyer. In addition, 29 aircraft are on display from conflicts ran
ging from World War II to present-day operations. The national Congressional Medal of Honor Museum is also currently located aboard the USS Yorktown (currently closed for renovations and re-opening in May 2024). On the museum's landside is a true-to-scale exhibit of a Vietnam-era Naval Support Base and a Cold War Sub Memorial. Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum also offers one of the nation's largest education and overnight camping programs, with more than 40,000 school-age children attending these programs each year. We offer structured programs focusing on history, science, and technology curriculum coursework. For more than 30 years, organized groups of 10 or more have spent historic nights aboard the USS Yorktown - sleeping in the berthing areas once used by sailors and learning about patriotism, honor, and naval aviation. Campers sleep in the berthing areas where the sailors once slept and learn about naval and aviation history. Each camping package includes the museum's "Live Like A Sailor" program. Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum is available as an event location. There are many spaces aboard the museum’s ships and surrounding property that can accommodate groups of 15 to 4,000. Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum is located on the Charleston Harbor at 40 Patriots Point Road, Mt. Posting Policy: Thank you for liking the page for the Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum.
