COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS: An Empire State Partnership Program
The Antique Boat Museum has established a partnership with the Thousand Islands Central School District for an Empire State Partnership program funded by the New York State Council on the Arts. This Arts-in-Education program works with students in grades K-5 at the Guardino and Cape Vincent Elementary Schools. Students learn about their local history and culture through curriculum aligned units infused with the arts. Each grade level works not only with their teachers and the Museum educator, but also local artisans to complete a traditional art project which is exhibited at the Museum.

A River Curriculum Outreach Program. The Museum has a wealth of material to lend teachers for use in their classrooms to enhance the learning experiences of students. If travel to the Museum is not possible, Museum educators will bring a lesson to the students in school. Teachers may also contact the Museum to borrow images from our photograph collection, selected artifacts and books, or boating related items. Please see our Teachers' Resources page.
