USS LexingtonDescriptionLexington is a precious national treasure having played an essential role in the nation's defense for nearly 50 years. Her World War II record is second to none and as a place where Americans fought in defense of freedom, she is a memorial worth saving. She continues to work today as a museum and educational facility.
The USS Lexington Museum on the Bay achieves the following goals as part of its main mission:
To better the quality of life of the community by establishing and preserving a major pedagogic and entertaining museum focusing on naval aviation and the part of the aircraft carrier in the national defense.
To protect, for the delight and education of future generations, the nation's longest serving and most historically essential aircraft carrier, the USS Lexington.
To become a premier community educational facility by researching and utilizing the ship's unparalleled size and range of facilities in support of science, math, history and geography curricula.
To inspire pride and patriotism in the people, particularly the youth, through exhibits, ceremonies and educational programs that focus on the heroism and sacrifice of those who have served the nation in the Navy and the Marine Corps.
With these goals in mind, this location is definitely worth visiting!
