Thank You to Bollinger Shipyard for Their Donation!

Last Friday, volunteers brought in five model ships and a binnacle, on loan from Bollinger Mississippi Shipbuilding, for display in our exhibit hall. We are excited to share these nautical objects with the community! Be sure to come by our Open House on March 30 and 31 between 2pm and 7pm to see these beautiful models for yourself!
