On Friday, August 23 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) will host a 1950s-themed boat and car show at their campus in Moultonborough, New Hampshire. The free event will feature The Fabulous Fifties on the Water, a new exhibit at NHBM that includes classic mid-century boats, water skis, and motors. At least twenty cars from the ‘50s will be on display in the parking lot.
“This event is going to be fun for everyone,” said Anne Lennon, program director at NHBM. “It’s very family-friendly, and guests are going to be able to get up close to some really interesting vintage boats and cars.” Noting 1950s music will set the tone for the evening, Lennon said they hope to also secure a hot dog vendor. Guests will be welcome to explore the inside and outside of the campus.
“This is an exciting opportunity for people to experience our museum,” said Lennon. “It’s an incredibly beautiful space lit up at night.” NHBM’s Moultonborough Campus is open Thursday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Sunday, 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., through September.
