The Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park is a non-profit museum and educational institution located on Lake Erie in Buffalo, New York. It is the largest inland naval park in the United States and centers on three retired U.S. Navy ships: USS Little Rock, USS The Sullivans (National Historic Landmark), and USS Croaker. Since its opening in 1979, the park has offered public access to a range of military displays and artifacts, including aircraft, vehicles, equipment, documents, uniforms, gear, and photographs, with seasonal hours: daily 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. March through September, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in October, and weekends 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in November. The park serves visitors seeking to understand American history through its ship exhibits and related artifacts, functioning as a cultural and educational resource in Buffalo. A March 2026 incident involved a fuel leak affecting the park's vessels, with response by the U.S. Coast Guard and other agencies aimed at safety and containment.
