The Medal Of Honor Museum

Located on board the historic aircraft carrier USS Yorktown at Patriots Point, The Medal of Honor Museum pays special tribute to American heroes ranging from the very first Medal of Honor recipients during the Civil War all the way to the War On Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is also home to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. Society members share the distinct honor of wearing our nation’s highest award for military valor.

Interactive exhibits focus on Recipients’ stories from various wars and a searchable database allows visitors to explore all Medal of Honor citations. Permanent exhibits of artifacts tangibly connect the past and present.

The Medal of Honor Museum is a USA Today 10Best New Museums nominee.
