The Interpretive Center is open every day

PLEASE NOTE:
Happy Autumn everyone! Starting Sunday, October 1, our winter hours are in effect: the Interpretive Center is open every Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00am to 5:00pm.
So for this coming weekend, we are open Saturday, September 30, but closed on Sunday, October 1, and from then on we’ll be on our winter hours schedule until May 2024.
During the upcoming year, we may occasionally need to close the museum due to construction or winter weather. Please check our social media pages (Facebook & Twitter) for updates before planning your visit. Thank you for your understanding!
