This free event will allow families to visit the Museum, see USCG, Minetto and Oswego Fire Department Rescue boats up close, try out a virtual boat training simulator provided by the U.S. Power Squadron, check out Oswego’s dragon boat, get the feel of sitting in a kayak, find out about other fun events to be held this summer and more.
The Museum’s vessels will be open for visitation including the National Historic Landmark WWII Tugboat, “LT-5” and the National Register canal barge, “Derrick Boat 8.” The Museum and Treasure Chest Gift Shop will also be open.
Visitors will also have an opportunity to talk with area author and sailor, Susan Gateley, who will be available for a meet and greet at 4 p.m. Her books will be available for sale at a special discount. A new photo exhibit “Where the River and Lake Meet” featuring the works of artist Elizabeth Canfield will be featured in the H. Lee White Museum art gallery.
