Closing Reception

Summer has flown by! Let’s celebrate a wonderful 2026 Season at Lake Champlain Maritime Museum! Our final weekend open to the public is October 16–18 before we close the Museum exhibits and grounds for winter. To usher in the final weekend of the 2026 Season, join us on Friday, October 16 in the Hoehl Family Visitor Center for a free closing reception with light refreshments, conversation, and friends. We’ll have some opportunities to get out on the water with a final sail as well as a demonstration of our new natural linen spritsail, crafted through a partnership this July with the Weaver’s Croft, the Sailcloth Study Group, and Gambell & Hunter Sail Loft during a conference titled “By Hand: Reclaiming the Art of Historical Sail Making”. Check out the sailing activities here! It’s also a great chance to pick up any last-minute gifts from the Museum store and don’t forget the book list for the “Becoming America” book club! This event is free to attend, no RSVP needed. PS: Fear not! Exhibits and grounds will open back up in the spring for the 2027 Season! Add to calendar Google Calendar iCalendar Outlook 365 Outlook Live
