One of the highlights is the "art walk" of the River’s 410-mile course from northern New Hampshire to Long Island Sound in the Vertical Gallery, featuring aerial photography and a whimsical mural. The museum also showcases the famous 1887 Ocean Yacht race between the Coronet and Dauntless, painted by famed maritime artist Antonio Jacobsen.
