SUMMARY:Philadelphia II Open Hours
DESCRIPTION:Soldiers in the Revolutionary War not only fought on boats\, they also often lived on them for months. Step aboard the Museum’s replica of the Revolutionary War gunboat Philadelphia to explore their living and working conditions\, understand the mechanics of the vessel\, and even row the oars! Aboard the vessel\, staff will have real artifacts from Revolutionary War sites around the lake (including recent artifacts recovered by our archaeologists at Arnold’s Bay) for visitors to see\, touch\, and learn about! \n\n\n\nAccessibility: The Philadelphia II is currently on the Museum Green. There is a staircase leading up to the boat\, and the boat is in the middle of a grassy area. However\, the rigging and cannon from the Philadelphia II are nearby or on the surrounding lawn\, and our staff would be happy to talk about the vessel as well as display props on the lawn. Staff can also show artifacts on the lawn if needed.

SUMMARY:Whaleboat Wednesdays
DESCRIPTION:Try something new on Lake Champlain – go sailing in a custom 29’ whaleboat!   \n\n\n\nThis is a great and one-of-a-kind experience for a group of family\, friends\, or adventurous coworkers to get out on Lake Champlain in a traditionally-rigged wooden boat. Combining rowing and sailing\, these vessels were built in the Museum’s boat shop and are an unforgettable way to experience the lake.   \n\n\n\nWhaleboats are available to book in 1.5-hour increments for yourself or a pair at a flexible $60 pay-what-you-can rate per boat rental. Advanced registration is strongly recommended to reserve seats for everyone in your party.  \n\n\n\nEach whaleboat can accommodate groups of 5 people. You may book all five slots\, or the boat may include multiple parties. A museum skipper will accompany each departing whaleboat to instruct and steer. Come prepared to sail\, wear attire that is okay to get wet. Feel free to contact Sailing Programs Manager Matt Harrison at 952-303-1382 if you have any questions or if you need special accommodation.  \n\n\n\nIf no whaleboats depart on select Wednesdays\, open sailing aboard the Museum’s Split Rock Dinghies will be offered instead.   \n\n\n\nPlease note: We cannot offer an introduction to sailing at Open Dinghy Hours! Participants must have prior experience in a sailing vessel or small watercraft.

SUMMARY:Deep Dives: Valcour Bay Research Project
DESCRIPTION:History lies in the depths of Lake Champlain\, waiting to share its secrets and stories. In 2026\, we’re opening up our vaults and taking a DEEP DIVE into the past with Museum experts\, archaeologists\, historians\, and educators in our free evening conversation series!  \n\n\n\nJoin us every other Wednesday from June through October for a free “Deep Dives” talk. Each evening will include an expert presentation and time for questions and conversation at the end.  \n\n\n\nOn October 7\, Paul Willard Gates\, Director of Archaeology\, will share insight on the Valcour Bay Research Project collection. \n\n\n\nBetween 1999 through 2004\, several field seasons were conducted by the Archaeology Department at the site of the Battle of Valcour Bay. Known as the Valcour Bay Research Project (VBRP)\, the work consisted of a Phase I underwater archaeological investigation of the submerged battlefield at Valcour Bay\, in Lake Champlain. Throughout the 1999 to 2002 field seasons\, the VBRP team professionally located\, mapped\, documented\, and conserved recovered artifacts related to the Battle of Valcour Bay on October 11th\, 1776. \n\n\n\nThis presentation will re-examine these artifacts in the context of naval warfare and the horrific experiences of people from both the American fleet and the British fleet. Examinations of these artifacts are interpreted through a lens that reveals a raw\, visceral look of 18th century weapons and not a glorification of war. By interpreting these archaeological resources\, we can piece together the lived experiences of people who were at the Battle of Valcour Bay. In doing so\, we hope our audience can gain a better understanding of the importance of archaeology as a science and its use in interpreting the past. \n\n\n\nDeep Dives is free to attend with registration. A complimentary drink from Shacksbury cider is included with your free registration.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Whaleboat Wednesdays
DESCRIPTION:Try something new on Lake Champlain – go sailing in a custom 29’ whaleboat!   \n\n\n\nThis is a great and one-of-a-kind experience for a group of family\, friends\, or adventurous coworkers to get out on Lake Champlain in a traditionally-rigged wooden boat. Combining rowing and sailing\, these vessels were built in the Museum’s boat shop and are an unforgettable way to experience the lake.   \n\n\n\nWhaleboats are available to book in 1.5-hour increments for yourself or a pair at a flexible $60 pay-what-you-can rate per boat rental. Advanced registration is strongly recommended to reserve seats for everyone in your party.  \n\n\n\nEach whaleboat can accommodate groups of 5 people. You may book all five slots\, or the boat may include multiple parties. A museum skipper will accompany each departing whaleboat to instruct and steer. Come prepared to sail\, wear attire that is okay to get wet. Feel free to contact Sailing Programs Manager Matt Harrison at 952-303-1382 if you have any questions or if you need special accommodation.  \n\n\n\nIf no whaleboats depart on select Wednesdays\, open sailing aboard the Museum’s Split Rock Dinghies will be offered instead.   \n\n\n\nPlease note: We cannot offer an introduction to sailing at Open Dinghy Hours! Participants must have prior experience in a sailing vessel or small watercraft. Simple operating instructions for our custom dinghies will be provided and a safety boat will be present. Check our sailing calendar for upcoming classes and programs.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!
