If you're in the area, it's...

This museum is quaint and the volunteers there are so proud of their seabee history and have so much to share. The collection of the entire history is quite large and displayed thoughtfully. We brought my son‘s father to the museum as a birthday surprise, he was a seabee for nine years and had no idea that the seabee started in Davisville Rhode Island. This museum was built by retired seabees, is completely voluntary, and a clear project of blood sweat and love! If you have a seabee in your family, this is a great place to go to see their history and get an understanding of that relative’s time in...
