The website Museumlink.com is a growing site that is built upon a simple concept which is yielding mind-boggling results: it is endeavoring to accumulate links to museum web sites for museums in all of the 50 states (along with Washington, DC), Canada, and the world. The state of Indiana is represented by more than 60 links, including that of our favorite museum, The Howard Steamboat Museum. Warning: this site may be habit forming!

Nautical Archaeology Program
-
The archeology department at Texas A&M University is undertaking to excavate and build a model of the remains of The Heroine, a western river steamboat built in 1832 and wrecked in 1838 between Jonesborough, Texas and Fort Towson, Indian Territory. It is the oldest archaeologically recorded vessel of its type and Oklahoma’s only documented shipwreck. The shipwreck was buried for nearly 150 years in the bank of the constantly shifting Red River until exposed by a flood in 1990.

The City of Jeffersonville, Indiana
-
Jeffersonville, Indiana was voted the Indiana Chamber of Commerce's 2000 Community of the Year!
The year 2002 marked the 200th Anniversary of the city of Jeffersonville.
Thomas Jefferson planned a unique design for the City, offering alternate spaces of "trees and turf" for the community situated on the banks of the Ohio River.
In 1834, James Howard launched his first steamboat, the Hyperion, at Jeffersonville. For nearly a century the Howard family turned out some of the finest steamboats on American rivers, and shipbuilding remains a major component of Jeffersonville's economy.
