Thousand Islands Boat Museum unveils new boathouse exhibit
The Thousand Islands Boat Museum in Gananoque had its grand opening on Saturday for its new boathouse exhibit.
The boathouse features historic boats docked in the slips, and all the stories that come with each one.“Today, we really celebrate the completion of the docks, the structure that is on top, and all the exhibitry inside that brings it to life,” said Susanne Richter, executive director of the museum.Funding for the project came from all three levels of government, and a significant portion of it came from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
“With boating and boat building, it’s a history that needs to be told. People need to know our roots along the St. Lawrence River.”Bed and breakfast owners in Gananoque experience the slowest tourism season in half a decadeInteractive activities get visitors out on the water, learning about local history and nature, all while having a memorable experience.“We have two large yachts that are available for guided tours.
In order to completely finish the boathouse exhibit, the construction phase took approximately five years, with the pandemic causing some slowdowns in the process.But now the boats are in the water, and ready to tell their stories.
