Door County Maritime Museum Resumes Tours of the John Purves

The Door County Maritime Museum resumes tours of its popular in-water exhibit, the tug John Purves, with a daily slate of 40-minute, docent-led tours in May.

The immaculately restored 149-foot vessel was rededicated in late July 2008 after completion of a remarkable five-year restoration project. Moored on the waterfront behind the maritime museum, the tug is open daily beginning in May. Hours are 10:30 am – 3:30 pm with tours leaving on the half hour. Tours will be expanded Memorial Day weekend, with a 9:30 am start. The tour cost $5 per person and includes the opportunity to visit nearly every space on the vessel.

The museum is located at 120 N. Madison Ave. For more information call 920.743.5958 or visit http://www.dcmm.org.
