Happy Birthday USS Constitution!
Happy Birthday USS Constitution!
What’s a birthday, without a party?
On October 21, 1797, USS Constitution slipped into the waters of Boston Harbor and began her service to the country. Now 226 years later, we invite you to join us as we celebrate the Ship’s historic career in true birthday fashion with a Birthday Party! We’ll have birthday-themed activities and events throughout the day! Come leave your birthday wishes for the Ship and enjoy a fun-filled day at the Museum and Charlestown Navy Yard.
Activities and entertainment to mark the day, include:
The Museum’s 9-hole miniature golf course in the Navy Yard will be open. Test your putting skills and your knowledge, with Constitution and Museum trivia to reflect our history at each hole.
Ready, Aim, Fire! Step into the role of the courageous crew who manned USS Constitution and fire your own Alka-Seltzer cannon!
Try your hand at yard games and interactive activities Knucklebones.
Watch and assist as chalk artists from All Planet Designs create a USS Constitution themed chalk art installation.
The event is free for all ages and no registration is required.
