Preserve History

Help Keep History Afloat

The Millersburg Ferry has survived 207 years. With your help, it’ll survive 207 more.

Why We Need You

Why Your Support Matters

The Millersburg Ferry is operated by a nonprofit organization. There is no government funding. No corporate sponsor. Just people like you who believe that some things are worth preserving.

 

Every year, our team faces the challenge of maintaining two historic wooden vessels hand repairing hulls, replacing planks, servicing 19th century paddle wheel mechanics, and ensuring the safety of every single crossing.

 

These aren’t modern fiberglass boats. They’re handcrafted wooden vessels that require constant, skilled care.
