Guided Trolley Tour of the Philadelphia Navy Yard

Thursday, October 2, 2025, 9:00am-1:00pm

Don’t miss this unique opportunity for a guided tour of the historic Philadelphia Navy Yard with CAPT Francis Spencer, USN (Ret.), former commanding officer, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division.

The tour will highlight both the Navy Yard’s U.S. Navy history and its more recent commercial history. Some U.S. Navy activities and related operations still take place in the Navy Yard, and the tour will include information about those activities as well as other commercial ventures occupying the Navy Yard that benefit the Philadelphia community.

We will depart from and return to the Museum with an independent lunch at the Shop 543 cafeteria.

$55 for current ASHM members, $65 for nonmembers. Seats are limited!
