Veterans Day Weekend at the USS Constitution Museum

Join us in recognizing the service of veterans and their families. 

Throughout Veterans Day Weekend at the Museum, we’ll be giving a token of our gratitude to each veteran visitor, offering special veterans-only tours of the Ship, inviting military families to visit with free admission, providing maker activities, and hosting a write-a-thon to collect letters of gratitude for the veteran community.

Tours are approximately 1 hour long. Please note, this is a guided tour of the Ship, not an underway cruise.
