Costumed docents and volunteers will greet the public from 11 am – 4 pm.

“The Ephraim Historical Foundation strives not only to preserve the history of Ephraim, but also to share it,” said Thea Thompson, new curator and assistant director. “Free Museum Day is a way for us to reach this goal and for us to ensure everyone has access to the heritage and history housed within our museum buildings.” A Free Museum Pass can be obtained at any one of the museums or at the Ephraim Visitor Information Center.

The museum buildings are open 11 am – 4 pm, Tuesday through Saturday, until September 3. Fall hours are Friday and Saturday from September 9 through October 8.
