Parris Island. The United States Marine Corp. They both ooze history. So why not make a museum to honor them both? Makes perfect sense. The museum is broken into separate eras beginning with the birth of the Corps. It's a pretty typical museum setup with actual uniforms and weapons on display behind glass with lots of reading about events of the time. Lots of reading. There are two floors worth of Marine Corps history on display. One wing of the building covers the history of the island. There's 500 years of history under the tall grass and marsh land. On display are finds from excavations done on the island over the years. Honestly, it's a nice break from the military overload you'll experience in the rest of the museum. The other wing explains what Marine recruits experience on the island. It's a small section but it wraps up the display nicely. This museum is one of the things you have to do when visiting here. And you'll appreciate the air conditioning, I can assure you.

Everything here is about the history of United States Marines and the great people who served this country with their heart. The Patriots. You'll learn how the Marines were made, the weapons used in different battles and sacrifies of exceptional human being. I will share this few pictures.

I wish I had an extra day to spend in the museum! It's really interesting to learn so much history on the US Marine Co & our country.

Yes absolutely, all you have to do is drive up to the main gate tell the guard you are going to the museum. They will ask you for your driver's license and maybe your insurance. Then they will give you directions to the museum. Its actually pretty easy, all the Marines are very friendly. Once you are on base you can pretty much go anywhere you want. They are more relaxed than you might think. It was a great experience, I highly recommend going. If you want they have a junior recruit program(a treasure hunt of Marine Corps history) in the museum that if you finish they give you a really cool patch. Out side of the museum on base don't miss the parade deck where all the new Marines graduate. And the famous yellow footprints are just down the street from the museum as well.
In this day and age, I generally refrain from giving out information as to places plac
It is admission free but unfortunately no one is able to get on base unless stationed or work on base. The museum is really nice.
Usually every Friday. There are Facebook pages for each company with information pertaining to Family Day and graduation.
Not looking good! Beaufort County is under mandatory evac.
