The Antique Boat Museum in Clayton is set to open on Friday for the 2019 season.

It offers a number of different programs for both children and adults. This year, the museum will debut a brand new exhibit in the Gordon Gallery.

The Ride the River boat rides will launch on Memorial Day.

Officials say tourists should not be worried about any potential flooding. 

"I think at this point in time we have our risers if we need to accommodate for the high waters, we're prepared to do that. And again I would hope high water doesn't scare any of the visitors from coming to our region," said Rebecca Hopfinger, the museum’s executive director.

The Antique Boat Museum will remain open for seven days a week until Columbus Day.
