WE’RE CLOSED FOR CLEANING:
The National Museum of the Great Lakes will close on Tuesday, January 20, and remain closed through Friday, January 30.
However, there is still lots to do over these winter months! You can…
1) – Shop with Purpose!
Support the museum through our online store.
2) – Experience Great Lakes History Virtually!
Engage with history through reading Inland Seas Online, and by exploring the museum exhibits and our museum ship, the Col. James. M. Schoonmaker, in a digital, interactive tour.
3) – Learn through Youth Activities!
And finally, engage your young learners at home with a variety of youth educational activities from our Captain Scupper’s Kids Club.
