About National Museum of the Great Lakes

National Museum of the Great Lakes operates nine galleries of exhibits alongside two historic vessels moored on the Maumee River in Toledo, where visitors explore over 300 artifacts, photography, and audiovisual displays spanning centuries of Great Lakes maritime history. Guests can board the 617-foot Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship and Museum Tug Ohio to experience life aboard working vessels. Exhibits cover themes from 17th-century fur traders to modern freighter crews, shipwrecks, Prohibition-era rum runners, and the lakes as a living ecosystem through the rotating Currents of Change exhibit. Most visitors spend one to one and a half hours exploring galleries, or significantly more time when including ship tours. Children ages zero to five receive free admission. Visitors receiving SNAP benefits receive free admission. Individual general admission is also available.
