USS Edson Museum Ship

Decks and shipboard spaces provide a setting to examine naval technology and the working conditions of the sailors who served aboard.

The archival photograph shows Edson at an earlier museum mooring in New York, before its move to Bay City. Check current seasonal admission, tour routes and Michigan arrival information.
