The Ohio River Museum and W.P. Snyder are Currently Closed as we await construction of the New Ohio River Museum.
Tour Guide — towboat W.P. Snyder Jr.
Show school children and tourists how the Snyder worked. The Snyder is a National Historic Landmark and the last intact steam-powered “pool-type” stern-wheeled towboat in the United States. If you don’t know your starboard from your port, that’s okay! We train and provide all the information you need.
