10 AM

The US Navy Museum
Washington Navy Yard

This will be a special meeting, and will be held at the US Navy Museum at the Washington Navy Yard. The U.S. Navy Museum is one of the little known jewels of the Nation's Capitol. Called one of Washington, DC's most user-friendly museums, the museum exhibits ship models, uniforms, medals, ordnance, photographs and fine art in the setting of the former Breech Mechanism Shop of the old Naval Gun Factory. The Museum opens at 10 AM. The museum staff will provide a guided tour of the facilities beginning at 10:30 AM on Saturday, December 10. Following the tour, members may roam the museum, examining exhibits that are of particular interest.

Please arrive early for the tour (i.e., between 10 and 10:30), and allow time to pass through security at the  Navy Yard.  All attendees must present photographic identification, so make sure that you and your passengers all have driver's license or military ID.  Parking on the weekend should be no problem, and members should be able to park close to the Museum.
