Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park Museum
Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park Museum, Maritime museum at Buffalo River, United States.
The Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park Museum displays three decommissioned warships along the Buffalo River: USS Little Rock, USS The Sullivans, and USS Croaker. Visitors can walk aboard these vessels to see naval living quarters and operational areas.
The museum was established in 1979 after local agencies decided to display decommissioned naval vessels to the public. This decision helped preserve the maritime heritage of the Buffalo region.
The museum honors military service through displays of vehicles, aircraft, and naval equipment that show American military history. Visitors can see how these objects reflect the contributions and sacrifices of service members.
The museum sits along the Buffalo River and is accessible by public transportation. Wear sturdy shoes as boarding the ships involves climbing stairs and navigating narrow passages.
The USS Little Rock has an unusual history: the original ship served from 1945, and in 2017 a completely new vessel with the same name was commissioned. This reflects how the Navy preserves tradition by reusing historic ship names across generations.
