very nice to have such a museum right in our backyard. we volunteer here annually to assist with the upkeep of the grounds before their festival. would highly recommend volunteering.

This mansion was an excellent place to tour. It had lots of original item in the house. Great place to visit. 😄😄 good place for the whole family

The replicas of steamboats are impressive to view. Period furnishings in the museum demonstrate the grandness of the era and wealth of steamboat owners. Make sure to visit the parlor as it was my favorite room in the house. There was a display of period dresses throughout the house. Can't believe women were that small.

Definitely worth a trip. Hidden gem dedicated to preserving steam boat history. I did the guided tour. Kadie was enthusiastic and informative. Worth the wait if necessary. After I was still able to walk about on my own and read some of the plentiful information. There is also an archive if you are interested in research contact them directly. Highly... More 

Nice old home of a steamboat mogul with beautiful wood designs all over with maritime themes. Ornate rooms with matching chandeliers that may have inspired the room design. Older woman docent very knowledgeable and loves to tell the history.

Loved this museum! Great history! Loved the paddle boats! When in the area, you really need to stop by here!

Wonderful, tranquil, historical home & grounds. Very economical. Nice, small gift shop. Friendly, guided tour.

If you like Victorian houses, you will love the Howard Steamboat Museum. Located across the street from the Jeff Boat works where they are still churning out large craft for our inland waterways. The annual chautauqua is fun event for the whole family, booths,crafts and food for everyone. A slice of a by-gone era.

This is a neat little museum located on the river in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The yard looks like a graveyard for steamship pieces, but it's cool to see them so close up. The information inside is great if you're interested in the steamboat era.
