The Alameda Naval Air Base began operation in 1940 as a station point for US ships in World War II. The base closed in 1997 but today there is a museum on site to commemorate the storied history of the place and all the ships that docked and set sail from here. Visitors to the museum can view photographs, images, documents, and other archives telling the stories of the people who worked to build the base, who served in the military, and had a part in the naval base’s creation. It was a unique time and place, and visitors will discover through original newspapers from the era as well as other exhibits that the workers at the base received health care and child care, and that men, women, and minorities worked together, side by side, something completely novel for the time period. 2151 Ferry Point, Alameda, CA 94501
