Visiting the USS Constitution

Touring USS Constitution is simple, exciting, and a great learning experience! The Museum and USS Constitution are run separately (we are a privately funded, non-profit organization and the Ship is owned and operated by the US Navy), so please visit USS Constitution's website for information on the Ship's hours and tour schedules.

After your visit to the Museum

Watch the dry dock restoration of USS Cassin Young or view the Navy Yard Visitor Center's "Serving the Naval Fleet" exhibit. You can also view the breathtaking exterior of the Commandant's House, one of the Navy Yard's first structures.
