Thank you for visiting the online home of the Ohio Valley River Museum. We are extremely proud of our facility. We sincerely hope your time with us proves both enjoyable and educational. We request your comments and/or suggestions regarding any aspect of our museum that you would like to share with us.
The museum is currently preparing a brand new exhibit, incorporating history of the former Lock 14 and Lock 15 and how the new Hannibal Locks & Dam changed the river, literally. This exhibit will be the beginning of a permanent exhibit, as it grows throughout the year.
We welcome visitors to the museum! If your club, organization, or class wishes to see the current exhibits and/or have your meeting at the Ohio Valley River Museum, we are happy to arrange your request! Currently we do not have regular hours but we will accommodate your request, if at all possible. Please contact the Curator (Barbara Rush) and schedule your group meeting or visit to the museum! Email: mcrivermuseum@yahoo.com
Reminder: We currently do not have handicapped accessibility.
Watch our website for updates:
Let us know if you have any historical item related to the area’s history and the Ohio River. We are searching for historical information about Locks 14 & 15 and any photos that would help us develop an exhibit about these old wicket dams. Contact us to share your story.
The Ohio Valley River Museum Committee meets the last Thursday of every month at 7:00 PM. The public is welcome.
