GRAHAMSVILLE, NY — The Time and the Valleys Museum opens for the season Memorial Day Weekend, May 28 and 29, from 12 noon to 4 p.m. Opening weekend activities include a special Memorial Day display of rarely seen military photos and artifacts from our collection, discounts in the museums shop and hourly tours of exhibitions:

• “Water and the Valleys,” an exhibit on the history of the Rondout and Neversink watershed area from early geological times to the 20th century. This newly renovated exhibition includes interactives such as a Native American artifact guessing game, grinding corn with a mortar and pestle, videos and more.

• “Tunnels, Toil and Trouble: New York City’s Quest for Water and the Rondout-Neversink Story,” an interactive exhibit on the New York City water supply system and the towns that were removed to build the system, which includes computer interactives, games, puzzles, videos and building a dam and tunnel.

The museum is open from Thursday through Sunday, 12 noon to 4 p.m. through Labor Day and weekends, 12 noon to 4 p.m., until Thanksgiving.

Time and the Valleys Museum is a Blue Star Museum, a collaboration between the National Endowment of the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense and over 1,500 museums across America to provide free admission to active duty military members (with ID) and up to five family members. This free admission for members of the military and their families runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

The museum is located at 332 Main St. (State Route 55). Adults admission is a suggested donation of $5, children under 16 $2, and children under six are free. Town of Neversink and Town of Denning residents receive free admission every Thursday.
