The one-day Open House held by the Museum on December 27 was a great success. About 600 people visited the exhibits, talked to Museum Volunteers and patronized the Museum Store during the four hours that the Museum was open in the afternoon. It was the busiest the Museum has been.

Many who came had not previously visited the Museum. They praised the quality of the exhibits and exclaimed at the richness of the artifacts in the collection. All those working to see the Museum reopened are grateful for the support and encouragement voiced by so many.

The Board of Trustees and Museum Volunteers thank the community and those beyond who so warmly supported the Museum by shopping at the Museum Store during the Christmas season.

Much has been done in restructuring the Museum since it closed last October, and in developing a plan for financial viability. The next several weeks will see intense work toward implementing the plan. The reopening of the Museum will depend upon the success of this work. There will be public announcements at significant stages along the road.

Watch the Canoe Museum website at canoemuseum.net for further information as it is available. And thank you for your support.
