Artifact Overview
The Suwanee, a replica of a circa 1880 flat-bottomed steamboat, was constructed in Greenfield Village in 1929. Careful maintenance of the boat and its steam engine required that parts be inspected, repaired, and sometimes even replaced on a regular basis. Suwanee underwent thorough rebuilds in 1935, 1969, and 1989.
