Along the shores of the mighty Ohio River in New Richmond is the only International Cardboard Boat Museum. This festive museum is filled with color, creativity and lots and lots of boats hand-crafted from leftover cardboard, duct tape and paint. All of the boats are river-worthy and raced in the Ohio River, lakes and other bodies of water throughout the midwest. The museum was featured on the Roadside America website as a location worthy of a detour.
