USS Constitution Museum

The USS Constitution Museum "serves as the memory and educational voice of USS Constitution, by collecting, preserving, and interpreting the stories of "Old Ironsides" and the people associated with her." The nonprofit, privately run museum is located at the former Charlestown Navy Yard, near the US Navy's USS Constitution. The museum is housed in a restored shipyard building at the foot of Pier 2. The Navy Yard is located at the end of Boston's Freedom Trail, in Charlestown, Massachusetts, and is part of the Boston National Historical Park.

    The Court-Martial of Paul Revere

    Wed, Jun 10, 2015
    Though indisputably patriotic, Paul Revere, like so many others, possessed a personality far more complex than a single defining moment would suggest. Author Michael M. Greenburg will speak about the historical record of Revere, from the Midnight Ride through his lesser-known travails and ultimate trial by court-marital following the doomed Penobscot Expedition – a troubling and often ignored chapter in the life of this beloved American icon. This lecture is presented in collaboration with Old South Meeting House and the Paul Revere House and is sponsored by Lowell Institute.

    American Eagle: The Bold Art and Brash Life of John Haley Bellamy

    Wed, Nov 19, 2014
    Widely considered to be America’s greatest woodcarver, John Haley Bellamy’s iconic sculptures – particularly his famed eagles – vie with such hallowed icons as the Statue of Liberty, the Great Seal of the United States, and Old Glory itself in representing the United States. Yet while his work is well known across America his life’s story has lain obscured behind a host of ribald legends and erroneous myths… until now.
