Museum Closing for Winter!

Well folks, it's that time of year again!

Days and nights are getting cooler and the daylight is getting shorter. Winter is on its way, so the Old Stone House Museum is going to be closing! We close annually on October 15th, so our last day of tours for the 2009 season will be next Thursday.

Come out to the Museum one last time this year, or maybe for your first time! There are four floors of interesting and amazing history to enjoy. Make sure you dress warmly: the Museum isn't heated. Whatever the case may be, we welcome you!
