Local Museums Celebrating Our Local Heritage
Chippewa Bay Maritime MuseumThe newest museum along northern New York's St. Lawrence River opens its doors in Summer 2015. The Chippewa Bay Maritime Museum joins a series of museums and landmarks along the river that celebrate its boating history. Housed in a renovated church, the two-story museum will have several antique boats on display.
Museum creator Allan Newell has had a lifelong interest in boating and hopes the new museum will build a greater interest in the history of the Chippewa Bay area, which once included a yacht club, Gold Cup power boat races, and seasonal residents like artist Frederic Remington and 19th century millionaire Frederick Bourne, who built Singer Castle. |
