Sailors in the Civil War Navy often began their careers at sea when they were 12 - 15 years old as Midshipmen. Join us for an afternoon of hands-on Civil War family activities at the US Navy Museum. Participating children will start out as Midshipmen and rise to the rank of an Ensign after completing two activities and taking a Civil War trivia challenge.
