PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Explain how the site, building, structure, landscape, district, object or property of the nominatedproject, program or media is eligible for or designated on the State or National Registers of HistoricPlaces. [Is it a historic place?]

Since opening in January 1999, the Battleship Missouri Memorial has attracted more than 7-million
visitors from around the world with a fascinating tour experience showcasing the USS Missouri’s uniqueplace in history. Located a mere ship’s length from the USS Arizona Memorial, the Mighty Mo
completes a historical visitor experience that begins with the “day of infamy” and sinking of the USS
Arizona in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and ends with Japan’s formal surrender aboard the USS
Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945.
The USS Missouri had an astounding career over five decades and three wars – World War II, theKorean War, and Desert Storm – after which it was decommissioned and donated to the USS Missouri
Memorial Association, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Association operates the Battleship
Missouri Memorial as a historic attraction and oversees her care and preservation with the support ofvisitors, memberships, grants, and donations.

Explain how the nominated project, program or media planned and implemented in accordancewith best practices and treatments for historic properties. [Is it a preservation project?]
Preservation Award: Provide an explanation for the type of preservation treatment(preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, or reconstruction) that was identified and how it
was achieved.

With an emphasis on preservation, the exhibit’s focus is on the construction and operational history of
the USS Missouri, as seen from the perspectives and personal experiences of those who constructed andserved aboard the battleship from World War II through Operation Desert Storm.
The project consolidates the historic chronology of ship’s operations and service within the context ofkey historic events, as experienced and remembered by those who worked and lived aboard the Mighty
Mo from World War II through Operation Desert Storm.
The exhibit was designed and constructed on site with the assistance of community and military
volunteers, staff, and vendors, along with the ongoing contributions of representatives from archives,
historic ships and other institutions across the country.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION - CONTINUED
Describe how the project, program or media achieves quality, excellence in planning,
implementation, and follow-through of a preservation goal. [Is it exemplary?]
Very soon after the battleship Missouri arrived in Pearl Harbor and opened to the public as Battleship
Missouri Memorial in 1999, former crewmembers began donating “keepsakes” - those tangible
reminders of their service aboard that they’d kept safe, sometimes for several decades. At the suggestionof Mr. Herb Fahr, Korean War-era crewmember and former President of the USS Missouri Associationof former crewmembers, he and the ship’s curator discussed the potential and possibility of creating adesignated exhibit space on board where a selection of those donated “keepsakes” could be displayed
and made available for viewing by the visiting public.
The current “Crew’s Room” exhibit is a redesign and expansion of the prior “Crew’s Room” exhibit
originally created by request of former crewmembers, more than a dozen years ago. The originalcompartment configuration was rehabilitated for exhibit function in order to accommodate the need totell the story of Battleship Missouri and those who served aboard.
Over the course of six months, the Crew’s Room exhibit was researched, designed and constructed. The
exhibit was designed and constructed on site with the assistance of community and military volunteers,
staff, and vendors, along with the ongoing contributions of representatives from archives, historic ships
and other institutions across the country.
The USS Missouri Memorial Association then worked to build the exhibit within the structural andspace limitations

understanding,revitalization, use or celebration of Hawaii’s historic and cultural places. [Is itimpactful?]
The Crew's Room utilizes historic images, video and personal “keepsakes” to illustrate and enliven thestory of the world’s last active-service battleship as seen through the eyes and remembered by the three
generations of Americans who worked and lived aboard.
By featuring “keepsakes” as specific and tangible reminders of personal experience of service andhistoric events, the exhibit provides our visitors with the opportunity to imagine themselves in thosecircumstances, and to better appreciate the personal experience and significance of historic events.
By the use of and focus on a careful selection of personal keepsakes donated by former crewmembers,
visitors from all over the world gain their own personal insight into the nature and significance of
personal experience and remembrance, and a more intimate and meaningful appreciation of history andlife aboard the Mighty Mo.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION CONTINUED
Describe the project, program, organization, publication or work for which the nomination is being
submitted. What is the project’s purpose and scope of activity?

The new Crew's Room exhibit has been designed and constructed to offer visitors a clearer
understanding and personal appreciation for the experience of life at sea, far from home, in times of warand peace. By the use of and focus on a careful selection of personal keepsakes donated by former
crewmembers, visitors gain their own personal insight into the nature and significance of personal
experience and remembrance, and a more intimate and meaningful appreciation of history.
The Curatorial team took time to research and identify specific imagery, video content, textual content,artifacts and archival material that would most specifically convey awareness and understanding among
our visitors of the significance of historic events and personal experience reflected in the service of USSMissouri.
