Intrepid Museum

The museum’s July 2011 announcement introduced its Medal of Honor Stories Kiosk, featuring recipient video interviews and a searchable database. This is documented historical Medal of Honor interpretation, but the dated launch report does not establish that the same kiosk remains installed in 2026 or that the museum owns the recipients’ original medals.

Historical context

About this institution

The Intrepid Museum preserves the Essex-class aircraft carrier USS Intrepid as an educational museum on the Hudson River. The institution combines carrier spaces, aircraft and naval aviation stories with other maritime and space exhibits, making it a broad visitor attraction rather than a Medal of Honor-specialist institution. Its changing interpretive technology and exhibits must be checked against the date of the source.

Why it matters to Medal of Honor research

Research the documented Medal of Honor connection through the institution source and the named recipient index. Distinguish physical custody, historical interpretation, and visitor access rather than assuming that all related medals or objects are currently displayed.
