Erie Maritime Museum is a maritime museum located on Presque Isle Bay which rests on the waterfront in downtown Erie, Pennsylvania. It is managed by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC). When it opened its doors on May 21, 1998, it became the first new Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission-affiliated museum in twenty years. Alongside its extensive indoor exhibits, it serves as the homeport for the US Brig Niagara, a modern recreation of the 1813-US Brig Niagara which served as Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry's relief flagship during the Battle of Lake Erie. While the museum focuses on the War of 1812 in the "frontier", it is designed to celebrate Erie's rich maritime heritage.See Erie Maritime Museum and all Erie has to offer by arranging your trip with our Erie itinerary planner.

Very interesting place to visit. Got to go out on the Brig Niagara and walk around. A lot of information inside the museum. Well informed staff and volunteers. Very nice gift shop.

Had a wonderful tour of the ship Letter Howard. Great guide. Could have spent more time. Only spent 3 hours but wished I could have spent 2 more. Will return. Worth the visit.
