Why you should go…

Established in 1947, the U.S. Navy Seabee Museum is the second oldest museum in the Naval History and Heritage Command system and preserves the history of the Naval Construction Force, known as the Seabees, and the Civil Engineer Corps. A new 38,338 square foot facility built in 2010 moved the museum outside the base fence line so the general public can visit without a military escort. The collection includes uniforms, weapons and other artifacts documenting Seabee history. Admission and parking are free.
