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.

Overall I greatly enjoyed my visit to this museum... here's the highlights and my wish list: plenty of parking, low entrance fee, and the ship tour at the end are all plusses here. Would like to see more historical info, an updated video, and not some GE display in the entrance. Interactive displays are much needed here and would bump the review to a 5 star rating and more kid friendly. Erie has an Amazing History and I'm grateful for the day trip!

We really enjoyed our visit. My son loved it! All of the guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. The guides really helped make the whole experience. And the tour of the Niagara was a great unique experience. I definitely recommend making a stop here if you are in the area.
