Navy Seal Museum Added to Library’s Museum Pass Collection
Setauket, NY – January 15, 2025 –
Emma Clark has recently added The LT Michael P. Murphy Navy SEAL Museum to the Library’s widely used Museum Pass Collection.
This interactive museum, located in West Sayville, is dedicated to the commemoration and storytelling of the U.S. Navy SEAL community and includes a movie theater and SEAL simulation ride. Three Village residents may borrow a pass for free admission for 2 adults and 4 children (under 18 years old). To reserve a pass, Library cardholders may visit emmaclark.org/museum-passes. This pass is “Print & Go”, which means patrons may print it from any computer (there is no need to pick up a physical pass from the library).
The LT Michael P. Murphy Navy SEAL Museum complements the nearby Long Island Maritime Museum, which is also located in West Sayville and a part of Emma Clark’s Museum Pass Collection.
In 2024, there were 2,615 free museum visits for Three Village residents, thanks to Emma Clark Library’s Museum Pass collection. The program features close to 40 museums, gardens, historic sites, family-friendly attractions, and cultural institutions on Long Island and in New York City.
Those who borrow passes through Emma Clark’s Museum Pass program are encouraged to share their adventures on social media with the hashtag #EmmaTakesMePlaces. Emma Clark Library may be found on Facebook @emmaclarklibrary and Instagram @emmaclarklibrary.
The LT Michael P. Murphy Navy SEAL Museum tells the story, sacrifices, and legacies of the Special Operators of Naval Special Warfare Command from the frogman and Underwater Demolition teams of WWII and Korea to the birth of the SEALs in Vietnam, the War on Terror, Operation Redwings, and an exhibition hall dedicated solely to the SEAL Training program. There are seven exhibition halls including a movie theater and a SEAL simulation ride to give the public a glimpse into the stories and lives of these very special men and heroes.
The Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, located at 120 Main Street in Setauket and online at www.emmaclark.org, provides public library service to all residents of the Three Village Central School District.
