The Early Days of Patriots Point
From the Executive Director
Dear Visitors, Veterans, Volunteers, and Staff,
Every day at Patriots Point, there’s a special spirit that fills our historic ships. Welcoming guests from around the world to share in the stories preserved here is deeply meaningful to all of us. The dedication of our staff and volunteers keeps that spirit alive, making this museum feel truly heartwarming all year long.
As we look ahead, we prepare to embark on a remarkable milestone—Patriots Point’s 50th anniversary. Throughout 2026, we will honor five decades of preservation and progress with a series of exciting exhibits, programs, and events that highlight how far the museum has come and where it is headed. I can’t wait to celebrate this landmark year with our community and to showcase the evolution of Patriots Point as we chart the course for the next fifty years.
From all of us at Patriots Point, thank you for your continued support—we look forward to welcoming you aboard.
Sincerely,
Allison Hunt
Executive Director, Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum
