MISSOURI RIVER BOATS

On temporary display at the Sioux City Public Museum are the models of Missouri River boats from the past. They are normally found at the Sergeant Floyd Museum and Welcome Center. The Sgt. Floyd Museum is currently closed due to flooding on the river front. Some of its exhibits were moved to higher ground, the Sioux City Public Museum located in downtown Sioux City.

These models tell part of the history of a bygone era of life, commerce and travel on the Missouri River.
