The Finger Lakes Boating Museum's Academy covers all of FLBM’s active educational activity offered to the public:  courses, lectures, workshops, and youth programs. FLBA strives to become the primary educational institution for Finger Lakes boating by providing diverse program offerings and venues to the community.  

The Museum houses two active boat shops on its campus that give visitors a firsthand look at our boat restoration projects. Our Academy programming is also often held in these spaces.  Stop by the shop during your visit to FLBM and chat with the restoration volunteers about current projects and what is next for the museum.

The Museum takes pride in maintaining a list of known boat builders in the Finger Lakes region. This list continues to grow over time as research uncovers builders from history and discovers contemporary builders.  

The Museum's collection boasts a robust research library in addition to our hundreds of boats. Visit our library to explore our growing resource for boating, boat building, and the history of boating in the region.
