The Lake Pontchartrain Basin Maritime Museum has initiated a special program for the summer of 2010. With the recession making it difficult for some Louisiana families to enjoy what our wonderful state has to offer, the non-profit and the community that supports it has found a unique way to give back. For the months of June, July, August, and September the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Maritime Museum has removed its general admission fees so that everyone can visit the museum free of charge thanks to generous donations from Chevron and Zen-Noh Grain Corporation.
Current exhibits give youngsters the opportunity to crawl through a Civil War submarine (designed and built by faculty and students from Southeastern!), learn to tie knots, stare down an alligator, and discover the unique maritime heritage of Louisiana! For information, call the Maritime Museum at (985) 845-9200.
This is great!
