SEBRING

The building that now houses the Military Sea Services Museum, Inc. (Museum) evolved from Branch 173 of the Fleet Reserve Association (FRA) in Sebring, FL. During the early 1990's, members of Branch 173 discussed the idea of displaying their memorabilia to "dress up" the building and promote the military sea services... After innumerable hours of sweat and toil, the makings and looks of a museum came together. On Memorial Day of 1998, we had our "Grand Opening." A small but promising crowd attended the opening. It was enough to give us the incentive to continue with the organization and expansion of the Museum. At that point, we all came to the realization that we would have to break ties with the FRA because the Museum was monopolizing the majority of the building... Welcome to the only museum in the U.S. to honor the Military Sea Services of the United States of America (The U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and the Coast Guard). We dedicate this building to the memory of those gallant men..
