Historical Society accepts offer to buy Exploreum

The Port Washington Historical Society has accepted an offer to purchase its Port Exploreum building in downtown Port, president Nancy Holley said last week.

However, the building remains on the market even with the accepted offer, Holley said.

“We’ve accepted it (the offer) but it’s got major contingencies — really major contingencies,” Holley said.

Because of those contingencies, she said, the Society is hoping to attract secondary offers on the building.

And the Exploreum remains open through Sept. 4, when its World War II exhibit ends.
