Museum-Conducted Tours
The following tours, conducted by volunteer docents, are included with Museum admission.
Tour the Percy & Small Historic Shipyard
The Museum is located on the original site where very large four-, five- and six-mast wooden ships were built, including the world's largest wooden ship, the Wyoming. Most of the shipyard's original buildings, plus tools and equipment are on view. In the center of the yard, a full-scale metal sculpture of Wyoming's bow and stern gives visitors a sense of the enormous size of the ship. Guided tours of the P&S Shipyard are conducted from Memorial Day weekend to Columbus Day.
The Percy & Small shipyard is closed from about December 15 to March 1 and on days when ice or snow pose a hazard to visitors.

It contains many of the family's belongings and similar period pieces. Seasonal - The house is open 11 am to 4 pm, Monday through Saturday, from Memorial Day weekend to Columbus Day and on special occasions.
