Rosie the Riveter National Historical Park is a wonderful tribute to the unsung women heroes in America who worked tirelessly state side during WWII to support America's war effort building a wide variety of ships, weapons, and other items. The Rosie the Riveter National Historical Park has a wonderful Visitor's Center, beautiful and educational displays, movies, and items you can purchase to learn more about the war effort in America to support America's war effort in Europe. The effort and dedication of America's women and their sacrifice and support was clearly a game changer for America and our Allies in WWII. Do yourself a favor and check out Rosie the Riveter National Historical Park, you will not be disappointed! If you find my review helpful, please click the thumbs-up 👍icon.

Rosie the Riveter is a national historical park so it's more of a museum here than an outdoor plot of land. It's got an amazing representation of what WWII looked like for all sorts of people here on the west coast. Lots of details behind the dock and warehouse district that it's located in, including document, recordings and old advertisements as well. It's also another place to get a cancelation for your passport, so don't miss out. Parking is easy here, enter through the front gate and go all the way back and to the right past all of the businesses. Staff here, as usual, are always amazing and helpful.

I toured the red oak victory ship and enjoyed the experience. The cost is $20 which is super reasonable for a two hour guided tour of the ship. The ship is maintained on a shoestring budget by too few volunteers but this is both a benefit and a challenge. The ship is not your classic museum with roped off corridors where you peer into a staged display. Nope this is a wwii ship that has been in storage and you can explore it. I mean really see what it was like. The engine room, bunk rooms, galley and even fool around with an anti-aircraft 20mm gun. So while the ship is not polished and painted, it comes across as really how it was. The docents are incredibly nice and really care about sharing the ship with you. Parking is easy. There is a wine bar adjacent and this was a great two hour excursion.

Nice staff, presentable exhibits and museum. National Park stamping is easily accessible for those interested. Some options for souvenirs - posters, apparel.

From the Richmond BART station you could take the #74 Marina Bay Bus 🚌 to Ford Point, then you'll have a short 3-5 minute walk out to the museum.
You may find that information in the National Archive or any local archives in California.
Yes it's Historical, it's a place WWII shipyards...
A good starting point would be talking to someone at the monument. They'll probably have more info on it.

The parking lot is pretty big and it wasn't super busy on the Sunday I went. I'm sure you could find a place for your RV. May have to park it sideways across some spaces.

I don't think they offer reservations...unless its a bus tour. There's plenty of room for 8 people even if there's a small crowd there. Check on open hours before you go. It's a great museum with great displays and a gift shop. We were there when 3 of the still living women (called Rosies) who worked there at the Assembly Plant during WW2 gave a presentation on the lower level...you may want to find out about that and plan your trip so you can see them and get photos taken with them. Have a great tour.

That was two years ago. I can't remember. I wish I could have took the children this summer.
