Family Friendly Tour: Powder Monkey Tour

Part of our Fleet Focus Program

The USS Constellation invites youngsters, six years old and up, to come aboard to learn about the lives of the young boys who served as powder monkeys during the Civil War. Young "recruits" will find out through demonstrations and hands-on activities, how lads from eleven to eighteen lived in President Lincoln's Navy.
