Portions of the Museum's campus will be opened for special "behind the scenes" tours so that you can discover the historic structures the Museum is planning to preserve, restore, and reuse as it continues to realize its vision of bringing together businesses, schools, and individuals in a collaborative Herreshoff Marine Technology Complex where the skills and technologies of modern marine enterprise can be inspired by the past and directed toward other ventures such as renewable energy and sustainable living.
