What to expect
Planning a visit to Commandant's House Lawn at Charlestown Navy Yard
Choose the Commandant's House Lawn for an outdoor neighborhood performance rather than an indoor visit to the historic house. Confirm the event area, audience and seating guidance, weather or rain date, start time, accessibility arrangements, registration terms, permitted items, and current Navy Yard approach before leaving; historic-site hours do not by themselves establish event access.
