Higgins Armory Museum to close this year

<< < (2/12) > >>

Sir James A:
I looked at taking the Amtrak from Manassas VA up there, but it only stops about an hour west and an hour east of the museum, which would mean rental car and all that. Road trip might be more reasonable. Lord Dane's path without tolls seems like a good idea.

Sir William:
The tolls on a straight run up 95 will run you over $50 going through NY; I make that run pretty regularly to visit my folks so I'm well acquainted with it.  It really sucks.

Lord Dane:
Anyone making a roadtrip, let me know. I can accomodate. :)

Grand Master Garland:
Closing! Say it isn't so!  I spent many fascinated days at Higgins during my youth with my dad.  It must have been in the late 50's, early 60's. Higgins was free admission at that time.  Even at that, there was rarely anyone but the castellan in the museum with us and we always had freedom to roam at will.  They didn't give any classes then, just a huge private collection of a wealthy industrialist who wanted others to enjoy it at will.  I've been fascinated by the subject ever since.

Lord Dane:
Relax Grand Master. It is just being relocated to the Worcester Art Museum.
