The best known item in the collection is the racing boat, HOOSIER BOY, famous race boat of the early 1900′s. The boat holds the record between Cincinnati and Louisville, round trip, at 60 mph. It was designed, built and raced by J. W. Whitlock of Rising Sun. On October 5, 2003, the HOOSIER GIRL, the sister boat to the HOOSIER BOY, came home. The HOOSIER GIRL was built in the 1940’s after the first one (built 1908) sunk. She is an exact duplicate of the original boat.
