My
husband
chose
to
visit
this
inspiring
museum
for
his
birthday.
We
were
welcomed
by
Christian
who
was
very
helpful
at
giving
us
the
'run
down'
of
how
our
visit
would
work.
The
adult
charge
for
admission
was
$10/per
person
and
very
reasonable
for
a
museum
of
this
caliber.
Parking
is
free,
masks
are
required/requested
while
you
tour.
We
sat
for
a
short,
ten
minute
introduction
movie
that
gave
a
great
overview
of
the
Howard
family
and
their
steamboat
business
on
the
Ohio
River.
When
the
film
was
done,
Christian
asked
if
we
had
any
questions
and
then
our
tour
began
with
Jason.
I
should
mention,
you
don't
have
to
have
a
tour
guide,
there
is
a
brochure
that
will
help
you
on
your
own
self-guided
tour
if
you
wish.
But
because
the
museum
had
no
other
visitors
at
the
time,
Jason
spent
over
an
hour
with
us
on
a
tour
of
this
stunning
home.
He
was
extremely
knowledgeable
about
the
home,
the
Victorian
Era,
the
steamboats
and
the
Howard
family
in
an
interesting,
non
putting-off
way.
After
exploring
the
first
two
floors
of
the
home
with
their
mouth-dropping
woodwork,
creaking
floors
and
fancy
chandeliers,
he
invited
us
to
tour
the
third
floor
on
our
own.
If
you
are
a
homeschooling
family
with
older
children
(maybe
8
and
up),
they
would
enjoy
the
history,
the
steamboat
replicas,
views
of
the
Ohio
River,
toilets
(!)
and
the
grounds.
Mrs.
Howard
was
a
very
forward-thinking
woman
who
knew
what
she
wanted
and
Mr.
Howard
seemed
glad
to
give
it
to
her.
Such
beautiful
preservation
should
be
seen
and
enjoyed
by
all.
Thank
you
Christian,
Seth
and
Jason
for
the
way
your
hearts
for
the
Howards
come
through
in
the
way
you
make
guests
feel
so
welcomed.
This
home
is
treasure
trove
of
history
and
should
not
be
missed.
Average
time
to
walk
through
1
1/2-2
hours.

gift
shop.
