Nautical Night Live Auction Packages

Don’t miss your chance to bid on these one of a kind experiences!

The Legacy of the Lakes Museum and Gardens strives to celebrate the shared memories and experiences of Minnesota lake life and preserve that legacy for future generations. The museum has been dedicated to this endeavor for over 15 years. But as our campus ages, we discover that many improvements and repairs are needed. This is your chance to help the legacy continue!

These auction packages will be available during our Nautical Night fundraiser on July 14. Tickets to the fundraiser can be purchased by clicking here.
