We normally open our museum to visitors in June, but will have to delay that opening this year due to the pandemic. We want to make sure our facility is safe for visitors and volunteers so, we may be closed temporarily, but please come visit us once we re-open to see our new general store and take a tour of the museum. Most importantly, everyone please stay safe and healthy. More details to come at a later date.
