Description:

Effigy Mounds National Monument continues the 47th annual Winter Film Festival on Saturday, February 27th, with The Riverboats.

Show times for the film are 10:00, 11:00 a.m., 12 noon, 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, February 27th and 28th. There will also be a 1:00 p.m. showing on Monday, March 1st.

The Riverboat “embodied the wild frontier it helped to tame.” And as riverboat pilot Mark Twain described, it was “ long and sharp and trim and pretty; she has two tall, fancy-topped chimneys, with a gilded device of some kind swung between them; a fanciful pilot-house, a glass and 'gingerbread', perched on top of the 'Texas' deck behind them; the paddle-boxes are gorgeous with a picture or with gilded rays above the boat's name; the boiler deck, the hurricane deck, and the Texas deck are fenced and ornamented with clean white railings; there is a flag gallantly flying from the jack-staff; the furnace doors are open and the fires glaring bravely; the upper decks are black with passengers; the captain stands by the big bell, calm, imposing, the envy of all.” And those beautiful boats with their capacity for people, cargo and dreams opened up this frontier.

This week's display will be oil paintings and jewelry by artist Deb Conlon of Gays Mills, Wisconsin.
