• 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.
