Outdoor Museum Movie Night Presents: Gulliver’s Travels

Join the Washington County Historical Society for the first ever “Outdoor Museum Movie Night” event.  There will be a showing of 1939’s animated movie, “Gulliver’s Travels.”  

How many remember going to the drive-in movie theater as a kid?  In 2016, drive-in movies are on the decline and the younger generation may never get the chance to feel what it’s like to watch a movie under the stars.  This is a chance for all to enjoy that feeling again.  The Hay Lake School grounds allow us to project “Gulliver’s Travels” on the side of the museum, so all attendees can enjoy the feeling of watching a movie outside.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a chair or blanket to sit on for the duration of the event.  There is even room on the grounds to park a few cars to truly give it that “drive-in movie feeling.”  Concessions will be available (popcorn, candy, soda, water, etc.) with all funds going to the Washington County Historical Society.  

Gulliver’s Travels is based on seaman Lamuel Gulliver who is the sole survivor of a shipwreck in a distant land whose people are no bigger than peanuts, adventure then ensues.  With a run time of 76 minutes, Gulliver’s Travels is a great time for both children and adults.  Children will enjoy the music and animated nature of the film while adults will enjoy the “it’s so bad its good” feel to this 1939 classic.
