Fantastic museum. Tells the story of the Naval history of the Civil War often not told. Really worth a visit. Great for students as well.

Opened in 1962, the National Civil War Naval Museum at Port Columbus displays the wooden hulls of two Confederate gunboats that had been destroyed near the end of the war to prevent enemy capture.

Very informative. They have a pirate festival every year around October and it's so awesome.

The civil war re enactments during some special thing they do in the summer is fun.

Schedule a guided tour or walk through on your own! Either way, you are learning & burning off those extra calories. :)
