Military academy museum

U.S. Naval Academy Museum (Preble Hall)

The Academy’s official 100 Objects series identifies the Medals of Honor associated with Robert Dale Reem and Cassin Young. Those are documented museum-curated medal-object narratives. A recipient archive record currently exists for Reem, but Cassin Young is absent from the current recipient index, so only Reem receives a reciprocal named biography link in this expansion.

Historical context

About this institution

Located in Preble Hall on the U.S. Naval Academy grounds, the Naval Academy Museum covers the evolution of sea power, naval service and the education of naval officers through historic objects, ship models, and artifacts used in Academy teaching and interpretation. Its separate 100 Objects project makes some historically significant collection stories available online.

Why it matters to Medal of Honor research

The primary object-by-object academy descriptions provide specific evidence beyond a generalized museum link, while current case availability and campus access remain independent questions for visitor planning.

Open location in OpenStreetMap ↗Official website ↗Current visitor information ↗Collection or exhibit information ↗

Official Navy Museum visitor page: visitors without appropriate credentials generally walk in from Gate 1; no general visitor driving access.
Object catalog association is documented; current physical on-view availability must be confirmed with museum staff.
The archive recipient index does not currently include Cassin Young, so the 100 Objects gallery entry is linked as an exhibit rather than an invented recipient ID.
Museum-specific representative image added in M030 with source attribution; the image does not establish any additional artifact claim.
M040 adds a qualified, source-backed map point for visitor orientation; it does not claim a surveyed entrance coordinate.

Admission prices, opening schedules, installation rules, and object availability are left to the institution because they can change.
