Amazing ship and volunteers/staff
My teen son and I traveled from Chicago to tour the USS Edson and it was well worth the drive. We were fortunate that a kind volunteer offered to give us a tour we weren't even planning on! It is amazing to see the passion the volunteers have for restoring and maintaining this spectacular artifact of U.S. history. If we didn't have to return home that day, we would've loved to have spent the afternoon chatting the day away with everyone in the gift shop - quite an entertaining and informative group of individuals, as well as ambassadors for the Edson and Bay City. Although it was extremely windy the day we did the tour, we dressed appropriately for the conditions (as recommended on the website) and found that it was perfectly comfortable inside. We are already planning for when we will return.

A hidden gem
I went to the ship as a small vacation and it was anything but small. Admissions into the ship was very reasonable. We ran into a veteran named eric who gave an amazing tour. Eric gave us so much information on the ship and life in the navy. He gave a grand tour and I would recommend the USS Edson to any family looking for an inexpensive but amazing mini vacation. As a sixteen year old it was able to hold my attention for over three hours.

Perfect fall visit on the USS Edson
Amazing piece of history. The ship is set up perfect for viewing and learning. Met Bill today and he was the perfect tour guide. I will go back, it’s definitely worth additional visits and I highly recommend this museum on the water!
