June 7: Family Free Day at Antique Boat Museum
CLAYTON, N.Y. (WWTI) – The 1000 Islands Family Free Day will return on Saturday, June 7, according to the Antique Boat Museum (ABM), in Clayton. Free entrance is available to guests of all ages throughout the day, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., on Family Free Day. This annual event, now in its 26th year, was first introduced in 1997 to make the Museum more accessible to everyone and open its doors to the neighborhood. The event's core purpose is still the same today. This year's Family Free Day offers many activities, including: Antique speedboat rides ($5 per person); Paddle painting; Rowing a traditional skiff; Cardboard Boat Racing; Interactive obstacle course with soldiers from Ft. Drum's 2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment; Children's crafts and games; Tours of La Duchesse, George Boldt's historic houseboat; and Live performances from the 10th Mountain Division Band and local favorite Bad Husbands Club. Numerous local organizations, such as Zoo New York, Clayton Fishing Guides Association, JCC Zootechnology, Clayton Opera House, Thousand Islands Arts Center, Save The River, and the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, will also be present to share their summer programs and events. Throughout the day, the Great International Steamboat Flotilla will be docked at the Museum, giving visitors a rare chance to meet them. ABM will host the Flotilla from June 7–13, and the best opportunity to visit these ships before they set sail for the 1000 Islands is on Family Free Day. The trustees, employees, and committed volunteers of the Antique Boat Museum welcome the public for a day of learning, enjoyment and camaraderie by the water.
