Three programs, one for every age.

Each one is built around real objects in our five rooms.

The Landing gallery: a wooden bench in front of a glass case holding a model sternwheeler, a large photo of the steamer at the wharf above it, and the ship's bell on its wooden frame. — The Landing, where Mail by Steamer starts and the ship's bell rings.
