Water/Ways @ Ocean Springs: N2RH2O Kayak & Canoe Trip

November 17, 2018 @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

Free

On November 17, the Ocean Springs Municipal Library is encouraging Coast residents to join in a free kayak and canoe trip around Jackson County. The trip, “Get N2RH2O!” will celebrate the community’s proximity to and connection with water. The free trip will take place in conjunction with the Smithsonian traveling exhibit Water/Ways, on display at the Ocean Springs Municipal Library through November 30.

Water/Ways is a traveling exhibit offered by the Museum on Main Street division of the Smithsonian Institution. The exhibit explores water’s connection to all aspects of our society, including the endless motion of the water cycle, water’s effect on landscape, settlement and migration, and its impact on culture and spirituality.

Exhibit hours are Monday-Thursday 10am-6pm and Friday-Saturday 10am-4pm. School and group visits are welcome but are encouraged to schedule a visit by contacting the library in advance at 228-875-1193.
