"Really cool place to visit. Guy at door was kind of rude though when I told him how many kids we had with us. Didn’t even say thank you when I paid."
"I love old boats and this place had a bunch. I really enjoyed looking at all the old outboards; I saw several I have owned. The smell of the place was great; it smelled like an old wood boat."
"Interesting exhibits plus boat restorations in progress by volunteers in the on-site workshop. Right on Chautauqua Lake and the multi-level venue can be rented for events. Some children's activities, too. Check it out!"
"I just visited the museum on Monday, and I have to say, I am EXTREMELY impressed! Such an interesting collection, and so well displayed. The boats and motors are in superb condition and are just gorgeous. And Dave's knowledge and experience are VAST. I will go again next summer for sure! Five stars!"
"Great boat museum with lots of great information on the history of boating on Chautauqua Lake. Rotating boats mean you see something different each year. Rowing, motor, wooden boats etc."
