One of ten museums operated by the U.S. Navy, the Hampton Roads Naval Museum in Norfolk introduces guests to over 225 years of naval activity in and around the great harbor of Hampton Roads, Virginia.
Over fifty exhibits cover historic U.S. Naval events such as the Battle Off the Virginia Capes, the battle of the ironclads Monitor and Merrimac, the Atlantic Navy in World War II and much more.
The museum's trademark artifact, USS Wisconsin, is also open to visitors free of charge. While onboard, visitors will get a first-rate experience of what it was like to be a sailor aboard an Iowa-class battleship. The battleship's signature exhibit, "Wisky Walk: 50 Years of Service" provides an in depth overview of BB-64's proud history.
The Hampton Roads Naval Museum is located on the second floor of Nauticus - the National Maritime Center. Admission to the museum and battleship is free. For more information, please call 757-322-2987.
