Boat Shop Open House
March 19 , 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm
Join us to celebrate the building of our newest boat built by students!
Over the course of this school year, a group of students from Middlebury Union High School and the Long Trail Program have been participating in our alternative education boat building program. These boat building students have been coming to the Museum’s boat shop weekly to learn, work with their hands, and come together to build a 25’ wooden rowing gig that will join the Museum’s fleet for education, school rowing teams, expeditions, and the public.It’s been an incredible journey for all of them, including a trip to the forest to learn how to select a tree that will be used to build a boat and literally building the boat from tree to finished vessel with guidance from expert boat builders.
Join us in the boat shop on Wednesday, March 19 for a special Open House as our student boatbuilders demonstrate their boat building skills and knowledge gained.
This event is free to attend, no RSVP needed. Family, friends, faculty, and supporters are welcome!
