Located aboard the USS Yorktown, the Medal of Honor Museum at Patriots Point is also the home of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. All members of the society have been awarded a Medal of Honor. The museum seeks to tell the stories of the over 3500 men and one woman who have been awarded the Medal of Honor, the highest honor that the United States can bestow upon an Army soldier, Navy sailor or marine, Air Force airman, Space Force guardian, and Coast Guard coastguardsman for valor.
I visited the museum in February 2021 during our visit to Charleston, South Carolina.
Adult entrance to the museum is $27 and includes access to the USS Yorktown and USS Laffey as well as the Vietnam Experience and the Medal of Honor Museum. The USS Clamagore was closed to visitors due to Covid-19 restrictions when I visited the museum. Other tickets are available for active duty, retired military, veterans, first responders, teachers, seniors, and children. An adult annual pass is $69. Discounts for an adult ticket are often available online, but not on the museum website.
