Nice museum. Lots of facts and artifacts. Good display of old boats and motors. Rates reasonable and free parking. Worth a visit, spent almost 2 hours there.
Nice safe Lake Erie location and a bit of history
Very informative museum. Great educational programs offered.
Interesting museum ,visited there on Tuesday with family. All the sets were very informative. Was worth the money.
They had an excellent underground railway exhibit. I never knew that Sandusky was a vital stop on it.
Very informative with excellent displays. There were six additional wooden boats being restored
There’s a variety of history here from the Underground Railroad, the war of 1812, Great Lake shipwrecks, to run running. I liked that the boat room wasn’t overwhelmingly large, it’s actually a nice size.
Tons of fun! Definitely worth a stop while in Sandusky. Filled with Lake Erie lore and really cool old boats. Also staff was super friendly and helpful!
Some interesting stuff here. Boats shipping industry. They still ship coal from Sandusky.
If you're into all things Maritime this is for you! Also a great value for families with a "family" admission price.
