Tug & Barge Quadricennial Legacy Tour

The 1907 Tugboat Pegasus and the Museum’s Lehigh Valley Barge #79 are teaming up to take a Tug & Barge Tour of the Hudson River, during the months of May (Lower Hudson) and September (Upper Hudson) retracing Henry Hudson’s voyage and updating his vision to showcase the great potential of the water highway for public access and enjoyment, education, transport and commerce today.
The tour will feature tug rides, exhibits that showcase the use of tugs and barges as efficient and effective means of transport and commerce, authentic Showboat performances for locals and tourists alike, and low-cost kids educational programs.

Staring in early May, we launch the celebration with a Staged Reading aboard the barge just before our departure for the New York Harbor Tour , followed by a Hoboken Tour. In early June we return to our Red Hook home port for our Speaker Series before traveling up the North River (Hudson) for the Hudson River Tour. Join us for this exciting summer of travel where an old barge gets to visit old and new portts of call!
