New Exhibit at the
Buffalo Bill Museum in LeClaire, Iowa:
Philip Suiter, Legendary Riverboat Pilot
The River Pilot’s Pier area of the Buffalo Bill Museum
in LeClaire, Iowa, is soon to be boasting a new display
featuring Philip Suiter. Philip was the first riverboat
pilot in LeClaire and was trained by French-Indian voyagers
to navigate the dangerous rapids down river from LeClaire.
He arrived in LeClaire in 1836 with his family, after living
in Ohio and Illinois, and proceeded to establish his home,
business and the first school in Scott County.
Thank you for all who joined us Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 2:00 p.m.
to participate in the official unveiling of this new
exhibit.
See photos below.
The Buffalo Bill Museum opens at Noon
on Sundays.
