Do the holidays have you stressed? From a calendar of events to a long list of gifts to find and wrap, “overwhelmed” is a regular feeling this time of year for many. In the River Realm, we have the shorelines to keep us calm. We also have an abundance of easy and unique holiday gifts to put under the tree. On a stroll through the town of Irvington, you can discover all of these…

Make plans to stay for dinner and indulge in farm-to-table and boat-to-table specialties at The Dining Hall, now available for $100 for two, usually $150.

Steamboat Era Museum
How about a splash of history? Swing into the Steamboat Era Museum to feed the curious kid in you. The museum brings landscapes to life from an era when revival camps, shucking houses and country stores dotted the river’s shores. The museum’s gift shop is stocked with holiday decorations and gifts for the entire family including hostess gifts, jigsaw puzzles based on pieces from the museum’s collections, note cards, posters, journals and stocking stuffers. For the history buffs and foodies on your gift list, we suggest the museum publications, “We Are Who We Are Because Steamboats Were” and “Dining on the Chesapeake Bay.”
