Home built classics and Boats of Historical significance will be on display. Hobbies related to the "wooden boat Mania" will be featured in the visitor's center. Displays will include, but not limited to, half models, full models, paddle making. Information on kits and materials availability will be offered. The exhibit will also feature the works of R.H. Baker, a noted naval architect who lived and practiced in Westport.
