There are some gorgeous examples of boat-making craft on display at this waterside museum, where you can view the still-working antique boats and try your hand at rowing traditional wooden skiffs.
For an additional $3 you can tour the glam 1903 houseboat La Duchesse, once owned by George Boldt, proprietor of Manhattan's Waldorf Astoria Hotel; reserve a tour time in advance.
On the first weekend in August, the Museum is the location for a long-running antique boat show and auction event.
