Support the MuseumCharged with preserving and sharing the stories of "Old Ironsides" for future generations, we do not charge admission so that all citizens, regardless of means, can access this important part of our national identity. As a private non-profit organization, we likewise receive no direct federal funding. It is the support of friends like you, who understand the value of the lessons learned aboard her decks, who make it possible for the Museum to fulfill its mission in keeping the stories of USS CONSTITUTION alive, inspiring ambitions and pride in visitors of all ages.
