Join us and meet Mrs. Sarah Berkey, an Irvington resident well acquainted with steamboat travel on the Rappahannock River and up to Baltimore. A little nosy and a little gossipy, she had some interesting stories to tell. Shopping and visiting family and friends, Mrs. Berkey is always on the go! Captain John Dare Davis, whose father was also a steamer captain, will also be with us to talk about his life as a steamboat captain, especially on the last years of the steamer Potomac. Usually a quiet man, Captain Davis loves to tell tales about the exciting and sometimes harrowing steamboat days. Mrs. Berkey is portrayed by Candee Pevahouse, Museum Manager, and Captain Davis is portrayed by Fred Pevahouse, Museum Historian and Archivist.
