Naval War College Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on the grounds of the Naval War College in Newport, this museum is a total hidden gem for anyone fascinated by naval history. You get to walk through the very halls where top naval strategists have been trained for over a century. It's not just a collection of dusty artifacts; it feels like you're stepping right into the story of how the Navy thinks and fights. The whole place has this incredible atmosphere of quiet importance.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the detailed models of famous warships and the interactive exhibits that let you test your own strategic skills in classic war games. The displays on Cold War confrontations are particularly gripping.
