Join us for a lively, family-friendly celebration of our newest exhibition and a one-of-a-kind vessel! Learn how the J.W. Westcott and its hardworking crew deliver mail and other supplies to moving ships — a tradition that’s been going strong for more than a century.
What’s in store:
- River-themed activities: try your hand at nautical games, explore interactive exhibits, and enjoy crafts and challenges inspired by life on the water.
- Meet the crew: hear real stories from the crew of the J.W. Westcott and get a closer look at how the boat operates.
- Local eats: enjoy a delicious box lunch included with your ticket.
- Treats & giveaways: take home fun souvenirs, sweet treats, and a few surprises along the way.
This is a perfect day out for families, maritime fans, and anyone who loves a good Detroit story. Come celebrate the mailboat that operates as its own floating zipcode!
