One of the benefits of becoming a member of The May Museum is the Annual Oyster Roast of course!  Members get discounted tickets, where it is all you can eat oysters, sides, and beverages!  This is a yearly event that is catered and is set on the museum grounds.  It brings socializing with friends, meeting new ones, laughter, and obviously lots of great food!  Membership forms and information can be accessed by clicking the membership information page.

 Step into an old-fashioned holiday tradition filled with music, laughter, and warm spiced cider. A wassail is a cheerful winter gathering where the community comes together to toast good health, enjoy live entertainment, and share in the spirit of the season. Expect delicious small bites and desserts, good company, and the comforting aroma of hot mulled cider (the classic “wassail bowl”) welcoming you in from the cold.  This event is open to the public and a great way to meet new friends and see old ones too!
