Great Little Museum
Steamboat Era Museum的点评
点评：Doesn't take lots of time to go through. The centerpiece is the beautifully restored pilot house from the steamboat Potomac, which was in service from 1894-1936.
We learned a lot about how steamboats used to be the way people got around between Baltimore, Norfolk, Frederiscksburg, and lots of Chesapeake Bay towns in-between back in the late 1800s right up until 1962. Old Bay Line was one of the big operators, and it's where Old Bay seasoning got its name (although I don't recall seeing this bit of trivia mentioned in the museum).
Steamboat travel could be relatively affordable and was not just for the rich. An economy class ticket was the equivalent of about $25 in today's dollars, and first class was about $40.
The executive director of the museum (a young guy!) gave us a nice intro before we started the tour, and he's obviously passionate about steamboat history and enjoys interacting with the museum's visitors.
We visited on a rainy Memorial Day weekend and it wasn't too busy, maybe a dozen others in the ~90 minutes we were there. The admission price was $7.50 for adults. Parking is free. They have a small parking lot and there's also free street parking right in front.
We also signed up to be a member to help support the museum. Memberships start at $50 a year.
I think this museum would be of interest to children (in addition to adults), particularly because it doesn't take hours to go through. Be sure to let them ring the Potomac's bell. There's also a small play table where they can write old-time postcards with pictures of the steamboat era on them.
Irvington is a small town with several quaint restaurants in the area.

翻译：参观起来并不费时。最引人注目的是波托马克号蒸汽船修复一新的驾驶室，这艘船曾于1894年至1936年间服役。
我们了解到，从19世纪末到1962年，蒸汽船一直是人们往返于巴尔的摩、诺福克、弗雷德里克斯堡以及切萨皮克湾沿岸众多城镇的主要交通工具。老湾航运公司（Old Bay Line）是当时的主要运营商之一，老湾调味料（Old Bay seasoning）的名字也来源于此（虽然我没在博物馆里看到过关于这个小知识的介绍）。
乘坐蒸汽船旅行相对来说比较经济实惠，并非富人的专属。经济舱船票相当于今天的25美元左右，头等舱船票则约为40美元。
博物馆的执行馆长（一位年轻的小伙子！）在参观开始前给我们做了个很棒的介绍，他显然对汽船历史充满热情，也乐于与参观者互动。
我们是在阵亡将士纪念日周末下雨的时候去的，人不算多，在我们参观的大约90分钟里，大概只有十几个人。成人门票是7.5美元。停车免费。博物馆有一个小型停车场，门前街边也可以免费停车。
我们还注册了会员，以支持博物馆的运营。会员年费50美元起。
我觉得这家博物馆除了成人之外，孩子们也会感兴趣，尤其是因为参观时间不长。一定要让他们敲响波托马克河的钟。那里还有一个小游戏桌，孩子们可以在上面写一些带有汽船时代照片的老式明信片。
欧文顿是一个小镇，附近有几家别致的餐厅。
