Patriots Point Development Authority was established in the 1970s to develop a naval and maritime museum on Charleston Harbor with the World War II aircraft carrier, USS Yorktown as its centerpiece. It is the home to the Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum and a fleet of National Historic Landmark ships, the Cold War Memorial and the only Vietnam Experience Exhibit in the U.S. and the Congressional Medal of Honor Museum.
The Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum is offering free admission for Vietnam War veterans and their immediate families Wednesday as part of Vietnam War Veterans Day.
