Finger Lakes Boating Museum to open new exhibit space

The Finger Lakes Boating Museum, located in Hammondsport at the southern end of Keuka Lake, will hold a Grand Opening of its new exhibit, Building 10, on June 3. There will be refreshments, activities, and live music throughout the day. The ribbon cutting ceremony will begin at 1 p.m. with guided tours through the museum scheduled from 1:30 to 3 p.m.

The FLBM exists for the education and preservation of the rich history of boating activities and boat building in the Finger Lakes Region of New York. It is a membership-based, volunteer-driven, family-oriented organization. Since 2013 the museum has steadily rehabbed the old winery buildings on the property into functional exhibit spaces for guests to enjoy.

Building 10 will feature motorboats, launches, and sailboats along with hand-built docks for guests to walk on and over 40 hand-made gulls hanging from the ceiling.

This event is free and open to the public. Call 607-569-2222 or email Nicole at http://programs@flbm.org for more information.
