For a play-by-play of the USS Constitution's various battles, as well as her current role as the flagship of the US Navy, head indoors to the museum. More interesting is the exhibit on the Barbary War, which explains the birth of the US Navy during this relatively unknown conflict - America's first war at sea. Upstairs, kids can experience what it was like to be a sailor on the USS Constitution in 1812.

Don;t be fooled: the museum takes up rather less than half the space available. The rest is a gift shop selling tourist tat. Not much in the way of entertaining or enlightening exhibits, either.
