History @ Noon

Immerse yourself in the luxury of cruising Geneva Lake in private steam yachts...some built locally, some in Racine and one traveled the Great Lakes from New York to Kenosha on its way to Geneva Lake. Learn the history of the lake: early dams, floods, shipwrecks, sailing and yacht clubs, excursion boats, steam yachts and more. At the Era's height, there were over 50 steam yachts on the water each summer, anchored at their owner's summer mansion for the season. Light snack and beverages will be provided.
