Within the Batten Conservation Complex we often get asked what's happening with the turret, when will its conservation be completed, and/or why does it take so long to treat' Over the past 23 years, The Mariners' Team has made much progress in the conservation and stabilization of the iconic artifact. This lecture will provide an overview of the turret's conservation to date, highlighting challenges and accomplishments associated with the effort. The presentation will also outline future steps required to get the turret out of the tank and on public display

Presented by Director of Conservation and Chief Conservator Will Hoffman

Advance registration is required whether you attend the lecture in person or online

Evening lectures will be in person in the Main Lobby and livestreamed.

Free for Museum Members. $10 for guests.

For more information, please call 757-596-2222 or email guestrelations@marinersmuseum.org.

The Mariners' Museum and Park will host the unveiling of the first biography written about Monitor's former captain, "From Ironclads to Admiral: John Lorimer Worden and Naval Leadership."

The book, written by John V. Quarstein and Robert L. Worden, offers insightful details about the admiral's career and his impact upon the Civil War's ironclad revolution. Worden was much more than a combat officer; he also served in the Navy as a scientific officer, executive officer, fleet commander, and educator. His innovative spirit and dedication to service prompted many to say: 'Let Worden Do It!'

Included in $1 admission. FREE for Mariners' Museum Members.

Save the Date for WMA 202

As we celebrate our 90th anniversary, join us to build relationships and soar higher than ever before. With the theme of ELEVATE, WMA 2025 will explore ways to lift up the experiences of cultural professionals and the communities they serve.

In Reno, Nevada, 4,400 feet above sea level, we will forward the progress of museums by looking to the future.

AAM 2025 will focus on the theme, Museums & Trust.

Museums have long inspired high levels of public trust, surpassing news outlets, government organizations, researchers and scientists, corporations, and social media platforms. This consistent finding underscores our institutions’ unique position in society as stewards of knowledge, culture, science, and history—areas where credibility and reliability are paramount

In an era marked by mistrust and misinformation, museums have a rare ability to counterbalance the proliferation of false narratives and polarized perspectives. Using our trusted position, we can cultivate a more healthy, empathetic, and informed society.

But to do so, we must maintain our credibility proactively, embracing thoughtful, transparent, and collaborative practices that will defend against influences like bias, resource challenges, abuse of power, and social injustice

The 2025 AASLH Annual Conference, in partnership with Ohio Local History Alliance, will take place as the history field makes the final preparations to kickoff off the 250th commemoration of the founding of the United States.

The 2025 conference theme, inspired by AASLH’s Making History at 250: The Field Guide for Semiquincentennial, is an opportunity to broadly explore one of the guide’s themes, The American Experiment. For many in the American colonies in 1776, independence from Britain represented a “leap into the dark” into an unknown future

We are excited for you to join us in Cincinnati as we encourage discussion about our democracy and civic institutions and how they can help strengthen understanding, inspire action, and reveal ways that all of us can participate in and shape the ongoing American experiment.
