Waterfront Museum

Come visit the historic 1914 Lehigh Valley Barge #79, a floating museum & showboat housed aboard the last remaining covered wooden barge that has been lovingly restored and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors will see the exhibition "SHOWBOAT - 'Round the Bend," and learn about the history of the Tug and Barge "Lighterage Era" (1860-1986), as well as how food and commercial goods were transported before modern day bridges and tunnels existed. Discover the thrilling tale of the rescue of Barge #79 by a clown and juggler, and experience Captain's Serious Foolishness.
