On Friday, June 20, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) will host “Rockin’ the Docks”: A Night at the Museum. With all proceeds to support NHBM’s 2025 season, Night at the Museum will feature live music by the Redemption Band, heavy appetizers from Squam Lake MarketPlace, and a raffle to benefit the Museum’s operations fund.
“This a terrific chance to view our new exhibits for 2025,” said Development Director Wendy Stocker. “All of the exhibit sets were fabricated and installed by our core team of volunteers over the winter at our new Moultonborough facility… This year’s exhibits will feature ‘Mahogany Marvels’ – the Marina Exhibit, Applications and Innovations, Power and Propulsion, and Speed and Sport.”
At the annual fundraising event, attendees can purchase raffle tickets for the opportunity to win three prizes. The first prize is a Freedom Boat Club Membership ($9,000 value), which includes three months of dues donated by Freedom Boat Club. Valued at $4,350, the second prize is an Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot Kayak donated by Irwin Marine. The third prize is a Mission Reef Splash Mat with pump and backpack ($1,599 value) donated by Goodhue Boat Company.
“We are so thankful for our 2025 sponsors and the high-value donations we can offer as raffle prizes this year,” Stocker added. “We are grateful for the continued support of our local community and are excited to open our doors to the public on May 24th for the summer season.”
