Long Description:The Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park is the
largest inland military museum in the country. It features three
naval ships moored in the Buffalo River. Self guided tours of the
USS Croaker submarine, USS Little Rock missile cruiser, and USS The
Sullivans destroyer are available as part of the admission fee.
In addition to the three ships, there are a number of other
military equipment on display. An F-101F, FJ-4B, and P-39 plane,
PTF-17 patrol boat, and M-41 and M-84 tanks are all visible outside
adjacent to the ships. Inside the metal warehouse building is an
X-Ron 1 rotorcycle helicopter and a number of pieces of
memorabilia. The main building features a gift shop and additional
exhibits dedicated to local armed forces history. Both buildings
and the entire outdoor exhibit area were built in 2007-8 as part of
the restoration of the historic terminus of the Erie Canal
nearby.
Beyond the outdoor displays are a number of memorials and
monuments for nearly every war. The entire area is a great way to
spend half a day and take in a lot of great history.
Admission fees:
Adult (17+) $8.00
Child (6-16) $5.00
Senior (60+) $5.00
