The Antique Boat Museum was excited to reintroduce our lecture series in 2021! Spanning all four seasons and a range of topics, we hope to be able to bring local history and boating life to you throughout the year whether you are with us in the 1000 Islands or far away and missing the River.
2022 Lecture Series:
June 18th: J.H. Rushton and Slipstream Watercraft
Slipstream Watercraft’s founders will present on John Henry Rushton and his boat designs. Following the presentation, attendees and museum visitors will be able to try Slipstream’s modern Rushton canoes and kayaks. Check back for more details as we get closer to the day!
