WOLFEBORO — Ordinarily, a good way to observe Veterans Day after attending ceremonies in North Conway’s Schouler Park would be to head down to Wolfeboro on their traditional last day of the season to visit the Wright Museum of World War II.
It’s normally open on Veterans Day, its traditional last day of the season, but due to the pandemic, the exhibit-packed museum off Route 28 has already closed for the season.
