About the Museum
The USS Constitution Museum was founded in 1972 to collect, preserve and display materials illuminating the human aspects of the sailing frigate USS Constitution. The Museum brings to life the stories of the individuals who authorized, built, served on and preserved her. Through hands-on exhibits, displays of historic artifacts, computer simulated re-enactments, and public
programming, the Museum strives to make a personal connection to our American past and the heritage of USS Constitution. The Museum is located adjacent to USS Constitution in Boston National Historical Park, Charlestown Navy Yard, Boston. Open 362 days per year, the Museum welcomes thousands of visitors from around the world annually.

Homepage illustration is a reproduction of an oil painting of USS Constitution by artist Gordon Grant (1875-1962) which today hangs in the White House. In 1930 it was presented to President Herbert Hoover by the National Save “Old Ironsides” Committee. Grant was a leading marine artist of his day. A native of San Francisco, he specialized in illustrating clipper ships in port and at sea. His paintings are hung in major American museums from California to
New York.
