The Long Island Maritime Museum (LIMM) is launching its annual membership drive on Sunday, January 29. All are encouraged to visit the museum from 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM to learn about the many exciting benefits being offered to museum members in 2012. Admission is free, and there will be live entertainment, children’s activities and light refreshments available.
Those who take advantage of becoming members on January 29 will be automatically entered to win a custom, handcrafted wooden boat to be raffled off at the Halloween Boat Burning in October.
Membership also includes free admission to LIMM premier festivals, free sails on the oyster sloop Priscilla, reduced rates on educational programs and even discounts at local participating restaurants.
The museum, in partnership with Suffolk County, occupies a unique cultural niche on the East Coast. It is situated on fourteen picturesque waterfront acres, with multiple buildings and seaworthy boats listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
