SteamboatEraMuseum

The Steamboat Era Museum is located in Irvington, Virginia—at the intersection of the Rappahannock River and Chesapeake Bay. Our museum works to collect and preserve the history of a period when mighty steamboats traversed the Bay and its estuaries on a daily basis, transporting the people, products and culture of this historically rich region.

On our YouTube channel you will find clips from oral histories we have recorded, sitting down with those who remember the steamboats and the era first hand.
