This year we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Steamboat Era Museum.  In a quarter century, it has developed into one of the finest small museums in the Chesapeake Bay area. In order to maintain that enviable position—and continue to grow our outreach—we need your support.  

Education has always been at the core of our mission. The stories we tell through exhibits, activities and other events keep the Steamboat Era alive for communities on the Chesapeake Bay and visitors to our region.

Because of your past support during the 2022 Annual Campaign, the museum mounted a new exhibit in June called Children’s Lives Around the Northern Neck: 1880’s-1930’s. We are confident that this new exhibit will draw families, school groups and others to the museum. It will introduce many visitors to the importance of steamboats to the growth of the Northern Neck. Thank you for supporting this effort.

We are looking to the years ahead. The Board has developed a strategic plan that provides a roadmap to secure the future of the museum. As with any successful endeavor, resources are needed to continue our work and make sure the museum has a firm foundation to continue its mission. 

We ask for your support to help us ensure this gem of a museum remains strong and ready to go boldly into the future.
