Step into the Steamboat Era with a tour of the Howard Steamboat Museum. This beautiful 1894 home was built by, premier steamboat builders, the Howards of Jeffersonville. The home features original furnishings, brass chandeliers, stained glass windows, intricate carvings throughout and even a grand staircase!
Master craftsmen, from the shipyard, created much of the decor in the mansion. Howard built steamboats included, the luxurious J.M. White, the speedy City of Louisville and the popular Indiana.
