On Friday, August 16, New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) will host Lake Discovery Drop In Day, a free program for kids sponsored by Lakefront Living Realty – The Smith Group.

Featuring interactive, boat-related activities, arts and crafts, games, and science experiments that highlight lake ecology, the program takes place at NHBM’s new Moultonborough campus.

“We are so excited to offer kids and their parents the chance to have fun here and get a glimpse of our new facility, which is beautiful,’” said NHBM Executive Director Martha Cummings.

When complete, the new facility will feature exhibits that showcase boat building, speed and sport, and a variety of styles and types of boats powered by wind, steam, gas, and paddles. “Come visit us and see previews of these exhibits,” added Cummings. “This facility is spacious, bright, and ready for visitors.”

Geared to kids from kindergarten through 5th grade, Lake Discovery Drop In Day will take place on Friday, August 16 between 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at NHBM’s Moultonborough Campus, 130 Whittier Hwy (Rte 25). Families can “drop in” anytime during the two-hour program.
