At the Howard Steamboat Museum we are interested in educating about the steamboat era inside and outside the museum. Here are some great sites with information on steam engines and steamboat history.
The Indiana Historical Society has a lot of wonderful resources about steamboats. Such as information of the economic impact of the steamboat and dangers they faced on the river.
