  • Museum To Remain Closed

    Due to the local increase in COVID-19 cases and the County’s raising of the COVID threat level to the red stage, the Museum will be delaying its reopening plans until further notice.  Likewise, we are also temporarily suspending private visitation opportunities as well while we assess how we can reopen in the safest manner possible.

  • Closed for the Season

    Our last day of operations for the summer season is Saturday October, 17. Our tentative re-opening date is December 2. If you would like to visit the Museum before then, or reserve a private historic walking tour, please send an email at least 48 hours in advance to [email protected].
