The Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park (Buffalo, New York)

The Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park is a museum on the shore of Lake Erie in Buffalo, New York. It is home to several decommissioned US Naval vessels, including the Cleveland-class cruiser USS Little Rock, the Fletcher-class destroyer USS The Sullivans, and the submarine USS Croaker. Along with the ships, there are a variety of smaller vehicles, vessels, and aircraft on display at the park. The Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park is a 501(c) (3) corporation and was formed and incorporated as an educational institution in the state of New York in 1976 from the New York State Board of Regents. The Buffalo Naval Park takes you inside our nation’s military history with incredible tours of vessels, as well as fascinating exhibits and displays including historic documents, uniforms, military gear, photographs and much more. Plan your visit today and explore history like you’ve never seen it before. Buffalo Naval ParkIn 1976, in conjunction with the Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency, the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park applied to the Department of the Navy for a decommissioned naval vessel. The Navy agreed, and in 1977 donated the destroyer USS THE SULLIVANS — designated a National Historic Landmark by the Department of the Interior in 1986 — as well as the Guided Missile Cruiser USS Little Rock, to the City of Buffalo. The Park opened to the public in 1979 and included a Visitors’ Center, constructed with Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency funding. The Park acquired the WWII submarine USS Croaker (SSK-246) in 1988; in 2008, this submarine was added to the National and New York State Registers of Historic Places. In 2008, with funding from the Empire State Development Corporation, the Naval Park expanded and created an outside exhibit area along with a new museum building and gift shop. Over many years, the Park has obtained artifacts related to all branches of the Armed Forces. The Park’s collection today includes three naval vessels, an X-Ron 1 Rotocycle Helicopter, an Army M-41 tank, a Marine M-84 Armored Personnel Carrier, a UH1 “Huey” Helicopter, an Air Force F-101F Voodoo Fighter Interceptor Jet, a PTF-17 PT Boat, a Navy FJ-4B Fury Jet, and a P-39 Airacobra. In addition, there are extensive displays including Marine Corps memorabilia, Polish Armed Forces, Vietnam Veterans, models of military vehicles, and Western New York Medal of Honor Recipients.
