Dear Stone Harbor Enthusiast,

As homeowners, we all know the difference between a cosmetic update and a necessary structural repair. You peel back a layer of wallpaper, discover the wall underneath isn’t up to standard, and realize you can’t just ignore it. You have to fix it the right way. That is exactly where the Stone Harbor Museum finds itself this holiday season.

After closing a few weeks early out of an abundance of caution to check on a small amount of mold found in our back office, we decided to turn this challenge into an opportunity. Rather than just doing a quick cleanup, we are seizing the moment to do it right.

We are taking this time to fully remodel the entire office and collections storage area. We are repainting, updating the work spaces for our growing staff, and installing new, high-quality shelving and cabinetry to ensure our archives have the safest possible home.

It’s a big project, but it ensures that the history you love stays protected for many years to come.

Thank you for bearing with us while we get a little dusty to keep our history shiny and new. The improvements will be completed in the Spring, in time for our opening Memorial Day weekend!

Our 2026 season is going to be a monumental year!  Learn more here.
