USS Montpelier Museum

Montpelier, the birthplace of Admiral George Dewey, has been a sea town without shores since the 1800s. The ships that have carried our city's name served our country well, achieving highest honors both above and beneath the waves. Montpelier is proud of its Naval Tradition and those who have served on these ships.

The first U.S.S. Montpelier was a German ship that was seized in 1917. It provided logistical services to the Navy by transporting troops and supplies during World War 1.

We are located on the Second Floor of City Hall (39 Main Street) in the City of Montpelier, the capital city of Vermont, U.S.A. Come in and experience our naval history of the ships that are named Montpelier. We are open year round during regular business hours and if you need assistance, just ask anyone in City Hall. You are welcomed to stay overnight in our beautiful city.

A new video legacy of the three ships named "Montpelier" is now available on a 60-minute VHS tape. The tape can be ordered from Jeannette Quinn, museum co-director, for $25 plus S&H. Call 802-828-0622 for information or to place an order. Preview the tape via internet. (Requires Real Player.)

Today, the newest U.S.S. Montpelier, SSN-765 patrols and protects our Democracy as one of the most modern stealth crusaders of the undersea. The Los Angeles Class Nuclear Attack Submarine commissioned in 1993 has received numerous Efficiency awards and has been awarded the Naval Citation Unit in its short existence. Our ship is equipped with the most sophisticated weaponry known to mankind today. The Montpelier name, affixed to the hulls of these great vessels, have crisscrossed the oceans of the world both in war and peace serving our country and protecting our freedom with outstanding performance and diligence.
