CLAYTON, New York
– The Antique Boat Museum
(ABM), North America’s premier freshwater
nautical museum based in Clayton, New York, invites residents of the
Museum’s home town to visit free of
charge during Clayton Community Days at the Antique Boat Museum on
Tuesday, August 27 and Wednesday, August 28, 2013.
The Clayton Community
Days initiative has been created to welcome residents from within the
13624 zip code to the ABM, free of charge, as a thank you for being
our neighbor and to provide them with the opportunity to explore the Museum,
which sits in their own backyard.
“The Clayton community
has played a key role in the growth of the Museum for years,” explained Michael
Folsom, Director of Marketing and Communications. “We want thank those who
live in Clayton for all of their time, devotion, and strong sense of
community which has helped to lure visitors from across the world to small town Clayton,
NY and our Museum. This is just a small gesture, but we believe the local
community should see and experience the Museum just like so many others
have.”
Clayton residents
wishing to take advantage of this offer should visit the ABM admission
desk on August 27 or August 28 and present valid identification indicating
residency within the 13624 zip code. Pieces of mail or other non-official documentation
will not be accepted. In addition, any youth visitor under the age of 16
with an adult guest from Clayton will be permitted free as well. Summer
residents of Clayton without a valid identification within the 13624 zip code
are not permitted through this special offer. This offer is intended for
