The New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) invites the public to experience its dynamic spirit at a special After-Hours at the Museum event on Friday, August 22, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Moultonborough campus.
Classic cars will fill the parking lot while vintage boats shine inside the museum, offering guests a unique evening surrounded by timeless craftsmanship. Visitors can mingle with fellow enthusiasts, explore NHBM’s engaging exhibits, and enjoy a bite off the grill—all in a lively, welcoming atmosphere.
“This is an event any car or boat enthusiast will love,” said Programs Manager Anne Lennon. “Walk around outside and check out classic cars and then head into the museum to see our exhibits.”
The After-Hours event is just one example of how NHBM continues to emerge as a vibrant, forward-thinking institution. With new exhibits, hands-on programs, and community gatherings throughout the year, the museum is dedicated to celebrating New Hampshire’s boating heritage while creating fresh opportunities for connection and discovery.
“Whether you’re a longtime supporter or a first-time visitor, NHBM’s evolving campus offers something for everyone,” said Devon Kurtz, NHBM Executive Director. “The museum’s commitment to innovation and community engagement ensures that each visit is memorable, educational, and fun.”
