Port Exploreum still picking up the pieces after serious flooding

The Port Exploreum, which was severely damaged by the Aug. 27 flood, won’t be open until at least next week.

“I want to get it open, but I suspect we’re not going to be open this week,” said Wayne Chruscial, executive director of the Port Washington Historical Society, which operates the museum. “Now it’s looking more like next week.”

Chruscial said Tuesday the elevator still isn’t up and running, a situation he had hoped to have resolved early this week.

“We’re waiting for some parts,” he said. “After they get them in, they tell me it’s not a big deal.”
