The USS Constitution Museum is located in the Charlestown Navy Yard, which is part of the Boston National Historical Park in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The museum is situated near the ship USS Constitution at the end of Boston’s Freedom Trail. The museum is housed in a restored shipyard building at the foot of Pier 2.
The museum, through its collections and interactive exhibits, tells the story of USS Constitution (“Old Ironsides”) and the people who designed, built, and sailed her. The museum is also home to the Samuel Eliot Morison Memorial Library and includes a comprehensive archival repository of records related to the ship’s history. The USS Constitution Museum is a private, non-profit organization that is managed separately from the naval ship.
All of the Museum’s galleries and restrooms are accessible. There is a ramped entrance into the museum and an elevator to the 2nd story. The USS Constitution docked next to the museum has limited accessibility.
