Our magazine staff had the good fortune to visit during the exhibit of illustrations and photos celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Marguerite Henry classic, Misty of Chincoteague . But don't let your visit stop here - there's much more. The museum is open daily during the summer and on weekends during the fall and spring. T he museum was founded as a non-profit educational institution by a group of Chincoteague women and opened its doors in 1972. Dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers are ready to answer your questions as you explore the island's heritage.
Group tours are available, and the museum store offers a very nice selection of gifts and souvenirs.
The museum's Elderhostel is one of the most recommended in the area.
