Located in a former military residence on the grounds of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, this small museum chronicles the mighty history of the former shipbuilding center—which, at its peak during World War II, employed close to 70,000 people. Permanent exhibits examine the yard’s origins and significance throughout history; for example, a number of massive vessels, including the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor and the Pearl Harbor casualty USS Arizona, were built at the Navy Yard. History buffs might also want to sign up for weekend tours covering manufacturing during World War II, or take a peek into the yard’s future with a tour of new businesses like Brooklyn Grange and American Heirloom
