Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum is a museum and historical site complex located at 40 Patriots Point Road in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, United States, and operates in the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos industry with a workforce of about 51 to 200 employees. The organization traces its origins to the Patriots Point Development Authority, established in the 1970s to develop a naval and maritime museum with the World War II aircraft carrier USS YORKTOWN as its centerpiece, and it opened to the public in 1976. The museum complex features the USS YORKTOWN, the Patriots Point Museum, a fleet of National Historic Landmark ships, the Cold War Memorial, the Vietnam Experience Exhibit (the only one in the United States), and the agency's Medal of Honor Museum in collaboration with the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. It positions itself as a national destination for preservation and education about American history, traditions, and values, and it reports substantial visitation, attracting more than 300,000 visitors annually with the YORKTOWN education and overnight camping programs serving more than 40,000 school-age children each year. The site maintains a website at patriotspoint.org and has engaged in partnerships and public events, as reflected by recent activity including event participation and collaborations.
