"You've seen the 'before and after' pictures of renovation projects," explains museum board chairman, Peg Wallace. "Well, this will be a chance to see McNasby's in its 'before' condition. Once we've pinned down the funding from the state, the city, the county, grants and private donations, we'll get busy renovating the property and turning into a premier maritime museum. I admit it's in pretty poor shape right now, but just wait till you see the 'after!'"

Refreshments will be served. A $10 donation is requested to defray the costs of the building's pending renovation.
