+Young+ Posted May 3, 2013 Share #2 Posted May 3, 2013 In my opinion everyone should go. Although it is expensive, it is worth it. In addition, as of now, tickets are available for non-museum members! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Young+ Posted May 4, 2013 Share #4 Posted May 4, 2013 You better hurry up for the tours of Van Cortlandt Park Yard because they are almost 100% sold out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poughkipsee Posted May 5, 2013 Share #5 Posted May 5, 2013 A tour at 240, interesting. I guess that's why they've been repainting and such. The barn isn't that big, wonder where the tour will go. Good thing I'm midnights and not AMs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
