On Thursday, June 11, from 11:00 a.m. to noon, the New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) will host its popular Children’s Story Hour in collaboration with the Moultonborough Public Library. Families with children ages 2 through 6 are invited to participate in this free program at the museum’s Moultonborough campus.
“NHBM is as exciting for children as it is for adults,” said NHBM Programs Director Anne Lennon. “Our story hour takes place in the heart of our exhibits, surrounded by our toy boat collection and full-size marina display. It is a wonderful way to introduce our youngest community members to the stories of our lakes.”
During the event, Moultonborough children’s librarian Sharon Gulla will read stories, followed by a fun craft activity. The program is designed as a drop-in experience and does not require advance registration.
“Connecting with community members across the state is central to our mission,” Lennon added. “By partnering with the Moultonborough Public Library, we’re able to offer a fun and educational experience for both local families and visitors alike.”
NHBM’s 2026 season officially begins on Saturday, May 23. Following opening day, NHBM will be open Wednesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Sunday, 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
This program is sponsored by Goodhue Boat Company, Eastern Propane and Oil, and North Water Marine.
