Event Details

The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is the nation's longest continuously operating Navy Shipyard, so you will not want to miss this opportunity to visit and experience 224 years of history.  Joseph Gluckert, Shipyard Historian, will lead this general tour of the shipyard which includes a visit to the Shipyard Museum. Visitors will have a chance to view the room where dignitaries from Russia, Japan, and the United States gathered to sign the Russo-Japanese Peace Treaty in 1905.  

The tour will begin at 9:30am and last approximately 2.5 hours.  Please dress appropriately and be prepared for some walking and standing. 

Due to security precautions, all participants will require prior clearance to visit the Shipyard, and the library must provide names and addresses for each participant one week before our visit. On the day of the visit, all participants will be required to show identification to board the shuttle. Acceptable identification includes a driver's license, state-issued ID, or passport.

Registration is required. Space is limited. Open to adults with appropriate ID.  Meeting details will be shared with registrants.
