Amuseum Naturalis has welcomed more than 6,000 visitors to The Old House over the last year.
Amuseum Naturalis is hosting a happy hour on Saturday to celebrate one year of operations at The Old House.
MARIGOT–The public is invited to stop by Amuseum Naturalis for an end-of-season happy hour from 4:00 to 6:00pm this Saturday, July 20. The Amuseum will be celebrating one year at The Old House in French Quarter and the end of the season. After Saturday, the Amuseum will be closed until October.
“It’s hard to believe we launched Amuseum Naturalis at The Old House just a year ago,” said Jenn Yerkes, President of Les Fruits de Mer, the association behind the Amuseum. “So many people helped transform the place into a museum, and we’ve had so many great experiences with visitors, school groups and summer camps. We look forward to finishing this fantastic year with a fun happy hour!”
Amuseum Naturalis opened at The Old House on July 22, 2018. Since then, the Amuseum has had more than 6,000 visitors. More than 2,000 children visited with schools, youth groups and summer camps.
