The museum provided an insight into the rich history of Clayton, NY, and smaller boat activities including canoes built by Indians, and the wooden power boats of different sizes and speeds on the St. Lawrence. The museum also includes a tour of a large boat used in the entertainment of the wealthy in the early 20th century. Do not forget to visit the shop where boats are restored. The Manager of the museum shop was very courteous and helpful.

Visited October first 2014. Enjoyed the displays of the antique boats and the old motors. Saw a martin motor which brought back a lot of memories of my childhood. I spent many a day working on the gas tank of that motor. Wish I would have kept is as I am sure that now there are compounds that would have sealed the tank. Also liked the Rolls Royce merlin displays as well as the Packards. Was very interested in the Matthews information. Talked to a couple people that were involved in the Antique Boat Society and had a good chat. Everyone that was there was impressed with the displays and quality restorations. If you are into boats this is well worth the time it takes to go through the museum. We spent about 3 hours there.

Was pleasantly surprised at the size of the collection and the quality. Didn't expect to spend as much time as we did but there are multiple buildings to look at, a movie and an interesting tour of the former Boldt house boat. It was nice they had some of the boats open so you could actually board them and look around. Also appreciated seeing a variety of boats including race boats with information on the male and female racers.

We were surprised by how much we enjoyed our visit to the museum. We like boats but don't own and aren't particularly interested in antique boats but the facility is wonderful. Our 8yo loved being able to enter the cabin cruisers.Don't miss the house boat tour.Spring for the speed boat ride, it was the highlight of our vacation.The brewery across the street is great for lunch. It has a nice selection of local and national craft beers and wine.

Bring your camera and capture images of boats from a bygone era. Clean, brightly lit museum filled with beautifully restored antique boats.

This is a great museum for boat lovers, nautical adventurers, and seeing amazing works of art in the shape of boats. Magnificent works of art for antique to new. The wooden boats are amazing.

Can't say enough about the ABM. Took a boat ride on a 28' triple cockpit Garwood - best 25 bucks I ever spent!! If you like old boats - this is a must-see place - a Bucket List Item for all wooden boat lovers!!!!! Plus Clayton is a wonderful town!

Spent two hours at this wonderful place.Plenty to see. Amazing array of some of the most beautiful antique boats I have ever seen.Well worth the $12.00 admission price....

Revisited after 20+ years. Impressive in every respect. Even a separate building for the "quest for speed" exhibits. I even got a really great pair of sunglasses in their gift shop for $6.25. Who Knew?

Went to Clayton to look at a boat under purchasing consideration. Google maps showed the museum was next to the place I was staying. 7.5 hour drive through rain, fog and other nasty inclemencies, the boat passed a visual inspection. The sky started to clear and rainbows were visible in the distance. I remembered the museum was down the street. I am a bit jaded having visited other museums purporting to have antique wood boat collections etc. Well, I was blown away by the size and scope (representing only 30% of their collection), as well as the way the boats were displayed. 5 buildings and 2.5 hours later I had to head home knowing that I could have easily spent 8 hours and still left wanting more. I don't imagine I'll need to go to Clayton again, but plan on it just to finish my museum visit.
