Hidden gem

This little museum/ house is a wonderful piece of history. We did a self guided tour because they didn't have any guides. We were given a little book with details about each room on the different floors. Only the first floor is wheelchair accessible. There...More

beautiful mansion

My first impression was not good because of the lady that latched onto us as soon as we walked in the door. The website said it's self guided (guided if you want one) and that's the way we like to do museums. We told her...More

Don’t overlook this gem.

I was taken back on how well the museum is well rounded. The first floor showed the lifestyle of the Howard’s. The second floor dedicated to steam boats and tools of the trade. Best seven dollars I have spent in a long time.

I really enjoyed the visit to this museum. I am not as interested in steamboats as I am in architecture, so I will leave the steamboat comments to others and just say that I really liked the replica of the steamboat Indiana. After finding out...More

I went through this Steamboat Museum and Mansion several years ago with a Leadership Group. The tour was interesting and included a lot about the history of the home (belonging to a Steamboat Captain) and the life of the people who worked on steamboats. The...More
