Steamboat Era Museum

We love sharing the exciting history of the Steamboat Era—and we couldn’t do it without amazing volunteers like you. From exhibits to events, there’s always a way to help bring history to life!

We preserve and celebrate the history of Chesapeake Bay steamboats through engaging exhibits, educational programs, and community events. By collecting artifacts, sharing stories, and creating hands-on experiences, we connect people of all ages to a remarkable chapter of American history.
