If you have not visited the museum in Fort Pierce FL, you're doing it wrong. Not only is it where NSW was created, it was where we trained for the Normandy landings. It was a 20,000+ acre base, 130k+ men, all services, trained there. Scouts and Raiders, OSS, etc all either created there, or trained there for the big one. It's hallowed ground to the extreme for anyone who is a WWII history buff, regardless of interest in SEAL info, SOF, etc.
Anyway, the museum is opening a sister location in San Diego in the very near future and details have been added to the main site linked below, and the main museum itself will undergo a major addition, which will almost double the size. One cool addition will be a large 3D shooting simulation room supposedly. I have seen the plans, and it's gonna take the place to another level.
Another addition opening soon is The US Naval Combat Demolition Units Scouts & Raiders Monument Park Omaha Beach, Normandy, France. I have not been to Normandy myself yet, but it's on the bucket list.
