Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum
One Million Square Feet of History and Adventure
Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum on South Carolina’s Charleston Harbor is a must-see. With WWII aircraft carrier USS Yorktown as centerpiece, the Museum is also home to destroyer USS Laffey, the Cold War Memorial, the Vietnam Experience, the Medal of Honor Museum and the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. It’s nearly 1,000,000 square feet of hands-on history combined with heroes’ stories and stunning natural landscapes.
We’re the destination for history and adventure with exhibits and more that engage families, veterans, tour groups, educators and others.
