The Military Sea Services Museum, developed from the ideas of the members of Branch 173 of the Fleet Reserve Association (FRA). The members discussed "displaying their memorabilia to 'dress up' the building and promote the military sea services." Additionally, Navy; Marine Corps; and Coast Guard uniforms; and other sea services memorabilia found their way out of closets and attics. The growing collection prompted a small group of Branch 173 members to consider creating a museum. They all agreed that the idea had merit and should be explored. And so, it started!
