Water Front Museum

Mission:

The Waterfront Museum, founded in 1985, is located in Red Hook, Brooklyn. It is housed aboard the 1914 Lehigh Valley Barge #79, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Its mission is to:

provide free and low-cost opportunities for education, exhibition, and the performance arts;

promote historic preservation and our maritime heritage and an understanding of the importance of our water highway for commerce, carrying commuters, culture, and recreation;

provide public access to waterfront piers, their unparalleled vistas and recreational opportunities;

be an active voice for public waterfront access issues up and down the river.
