Come visit the historic 1914 Lehigh Valley Barge #79, a floating museum & showboat housed aboard the last remaining covered wooden barge which has been lovingly restored and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors see the exhibition “SHOWBOAT – ‘Round the Bend”, and discover the history of the Tug and Barge “Lighterage Era” (1860-1960) and how food and commercial goods were transported prior to today’s bridges and tunnels. Experience the exciting story of the rescue of Barge #79 by a clown and juggler and enjoy the captain’s “Serious Foolishness.”
