CLAYTON,
New York (September 2, 2015) – The Antique Boat Museum (ABM), North America’s
premier freshwater nautical museum, will once again open its doors free of
charge on Saturday September 26, 2015, as part of Smithsonian magazine’s
eleventh annual Museum Day Live! On this day only, participating museums across
the United States emulate the spirit of the Smithsonian Institution’s
Washington DC-based facilities, which offer free admission every day, and open
their doors for free to those who download a Museum Day Live! ticket.
Inclusive
by design, the event represents Smithsonian’s commitment to make learning and
the spread of knowledge accessible to everyone. Last year’s event drew over
400,000 participants, and this year’s event is expected to attract more museum
goers than ever before.
“We
encourage our North Country neighbors, as well as visitors from afar, to come
and see what the ABM has to offer,” explained Michael Folsom, director of
marketing and communications. “This nationwide event is a wonderful opportunity
to get out and explore your local institutions and further educate yourself on
their mission and purpose.”
The
Museum Day Live! ticket is now available for download at Smithsonian.com/museumday. Visitors who present the Museum Day Live! ticket will gain
free entry for up to two (2) at participating venues for one (1) day only. One
ticket, per household, per email address is permitted. For more information
