I'm planning to visit the Naval Academy soon and heard there's a store. What's typically available there? Can I find unique Navy merchandise or books about the academy?
Yes, the Naval Academy has a store, popularly known as the Midshipmen Store, where you can find a variety of items. It's a bit like an on-campus bookstore combined with a gift shop.
A large amount of clothing is available, including Navy-branded t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, and hats. There are also items like gym bags, water bottles, and other athletic gear bearing the Academy’s logo. If you're interested in accessories or home goods, you can find everything from keychains and mugs to Navy-themed blankets and ornaments.
If you're interested in books, you're in luck. The Midshipmen Store also boasts a significant collection of books about the Naval Academy and naval sciences. This includes a selection of history books about the academy, as well as naval history and strategy.
Additionally, there's usually a selection of general Navy merchandise, unique to the academy itself and not available elsewhere. It's a great place to pick up some unique souvenirs or gifts as a way of remembering your visit. Be sure to stop by on your tour!
