Hours: Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (year round): Saturday through Sunday, noon to 4:30 p.m. (June through September); closed on holidays.
Reservations: 841-4052 (Reservations required without normal base access)
Tradition has it that on a late October's day in 1884, Commodore Stephen B. Luce, USN, was rowed from the flagship of the North Atlantic Squadron anchored off Newport to Coasters Harbor Island two miles north of the center of Newport, a site designated earlier that month by the Secretary of the Navy for a new kind of college. Once on the island, Luce proceeded to a large stone building, the former Newport Asylum for the Poor, climbed its rickety stairs, and as he opened the front door solemnly announced to his few companions and the empty grounds, "Poor little poorhouse, I christen thee, United States Naval War College."

Today the "little poorhouse" is a well preserved and stately structure, a National Historic Landmark and home to the Naval War College Museum. Named Founders Hall in honor of the founding fathers of the College, it is uniquely suited for its current purpose. In addition to being the original site of the College, it is where Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan, USN, second president (1886-1889) and subsequently a renowned naval historian, first delivered his lectures on sea power-lectures which were first published in 1890 as the epochal The Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1660-1783.

Today, the Naval War College Museum is one of the twelve official museums of the U.S. Navy. It is operated under the Naval History and Heritage Command, Washington, D.C., in cooperation with the Naval War College.

Collection and Exhibit Themes
The Museum's themes are the history of naval warfare, particularly as studied at the College, and the naval heritage of Narragansett Bay—a tale that begins with the nation's colonial roots. Its collection consists of items relating to these subjects that are perceived to be of value to scholarship, and it forms the core for exhibits throughout the College and for educational outreach projects. Besides permanent exhibits on the College, the genesis of the Navy in the region, and the evolution of permanent naval installations from the late nineteenth century to the present, the Museum features short-term special exhibits relating to College curriculum and to current naval-related topics. In general, the Museum exhibits identify milestones in the evolutionary development of war at sea; explain the significance of the sea as a factor in the formulation and the attainment of national policy objectives; describe the character, educational philosophy, and mission of the College; and chronicle the eventful relationship of the U.S. Navy with Narragansett Bay and its people.

Public access to the Museum with personal vehicle is through Gate 1 of U.S. Naval Station, Newport. For reservations please call (401) 841-4052 at least one working day in advance. Reservations and photo identification are necessary for entry onto the Naval Station. Visitors must stop at the Pass Office before proceeding to Gate 1.

Facilities for the handicapped are available as is a gift shop operated by the Naval War College Foundation (which partially funds Museum operations). Further information on exhibits and special events may be found on the Museum's website or by writing to:

Suspicious activity should be reported promptly to the Police Dispatcher and in emergencies via 911. You are encouraged to report anything out of the ordinary and you may remain anonymous. The Naval Station's police force is a full-service law enforcement agency which maintains close ties with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. Federal police officers maintain 24 hour daily patrol of the installation, tenant commands and surrounding federal property. Our patrol officers enforce all laws and regulations to include United States Code (USC), Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), assimilated Rhode Island law and applicable instructions. They offer assistance to those in need and proactive patrol measures serve to detect, deter and defeat terrorist activity. Detectives are on staff to investigate criminal activity and security officers ensure the integrity of our gates. The coordinated efforts of all branches of the Security Department working together ensure the protection and service to our community. The Security Director, and Operations Officer are responsible for maintaining the quality, professionalism and training of our personnel, provide a link from the public to the Commanding Officer, as well as gather data and view trends of criminal and security concerns so our law enforcement and security resources are utilized to their maximum potential.

Hosted by Naval Station Newport and sponsored by the Department of Defense, STARBASE-Atlantis Academy is nurturing the next generation of scientists and engineers. Through innovative and challenging hands-on, minds-on lessons and activities, fifth grade students are immersed in engaging Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) related learning for a 25 hour learning experience over a period of five days. By encouraging students to become more involved with the STEM subjects early in their education, the DoD hopes to inspire, develop, attract and retain a pool of world-class STEM talent that will meet the Nation's current and future challenges.

In order to meet the STEM needs of the 21st Century the STARBASE program has undergone many changes. The new curriculum includes standards-based investigations and experiments in the following topic areas: Newton's Laws of Motion, Fluid Mechanics, Aerodynamics, conducting investigations into Matter, Physical and Chemical Reactions, Navigation and Mapping, Nanotechnology and STEM Careers. Students are also introduced to the Engineering Design Process and learn to sketch, model and assemble using the ProENGINEER Creo Elements Computer-Aided Design program. The exciting new curriculum encourages students to consider future STEM careers both in the military and/or in the civilian sectors.

The STARBASE-Atlantis partnership with NAVSTA Newport not only exposes children to the real-world applications of math and science but, it also offers students opportunities for interaction with military personnel who volunteer in our program. Our students benefit greatly from the positive role models in a military environment where respect, discipline and teamwork are the norm. The STARBASE-Atlantis faculty and staff are proud to be a part of this dynamic partnership working together toward greater STEM literacy and ultimately greater national security.  read more...
