Admission to the Island County Museum will be free the entire month of April, the Island County Historical Society announced last week.

Coupeville resident and museum volunteer Jackie Feusier is sponsoring admission fees for anyone who wants to visit the museum in April for the third year in a row.

She said she came up with the idea to attract more visitors to the museum and also as a good way to celebrate her own birthday month.

“I think our museum should be free for anyone, anytime,” Feusier said. “Unforunately, our wonderful museum struggles every year for adequate funding, and isn’t able to offer free admission on their own.”

The museum is located at 908 NW Alexander Street near the historic Coupeville Wharf.

The museum is generally open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. It will be closed this Monday, however, for spring cleaning.
