To help prevent the spread of the coronavirus several museums in Pontiac will be closing the doors.

The Route 66 Hall of Fame and Museum, The Livingston County War Museum, The Museum of Gilding Arts and The Pontiac Oakland Auto Museum will close to the public on March 17 and will remain closed through the end of March, according to a news release.

In addition, The Eagle Performing Arts Center has announced the cancellation of all dates of the Harvey Dinner Theater performance.

“Our staff has begun contacting patrons as refunds will be issued to all ticket holders. Please have patience as we navigate this unprecedented situation,” said Ellie Alexander, director of tourism.

All activities at the Pontiac Rec Center are cancelled as well. Parks and Recreation employees are working on adjustments and refunds for those who’ve paid fees for programs.
