Due to the extreme heat, and to ensure the safety of our volunteers, staff, and visitors we will be closing the Jane Stevens’ Sagadahoc Heritage Center and Virginia at 1pm today, Thursday July 2nd.
We will be open 10 to 3 Friday July 3rd, Saturday July 4th, and Sunday July 5th.
Our little corner of Bath is being transformed for a few days so that Main Street Bath can bring you the latest edition of Heritage Days. The carnival is settling in around us and food trucks and vendors will be popping up here along Commercial Street and in the Bath City Park. You can get all the details at visitbath.com to plan which performances to attend, which goodies to eat, which activities to enjoy... We will be here our regular hours Thursday, Friday, Saturday (7/2, 3, 4) 10am-3pm and we will be open for visitors on Sunday as well, though without access to the ship as we prepare for our big Boston trip. We still have some room left in the boatyard and on Virginia for watching the fireworks on Saturday: mfship.org/4thofjuly
