The boat tour is a great idea. The problem is that this lovely jewel was overshadowed and tarnished by a guide telling "historical" tales of murder, maiming, kidnapping and blood and gore. This, on July 4th after a year and half of families and friends not being able to see each other and have a good time. For the "Open boat cruise" you are expected to remain seated, not talk, and be thrilled to hear these horrific stories. We were also supposed to be happy about paying $20 a person to have someone use us as an infomercial to sell their book. This is not a tour that is for families wanting to spend time together or for small children (not for them to hear or be expected to remain seated that long). It does state on the website that this is a historical tour. We did not realize it was non-stop talking for two hours. When the cabin part of this tour grew weary of the tales, her "folksy" style (learn to love the phrase "...and so anyway"), gossip on what people spent for properties and not being allowed to move around, the guide came down and reprimanded the whole cabin of PAYING customers for being too loud. Learn to read the room, you didn't keep their attention. I would have loved to have heard the purpose of the dam, how far reaching the effects of it were, if there are any conservation projects happening, had some silence to enjoy the scenery but most of all, I would have loved an enjoyable time with my family.

This is absolutely a treat for anyone with roots here or a fascination with industry and manufacturing. The highlights: Most tours are guided by former steelworkers and people with a first-hand involvement in the steel industry. You get a great overview of the plant, which was the center of life for this community and the lifeblood of the region for more than a century. Our tour placed a heavy emphasis on the engineering and technology of steelmaking, so if that's your thing, it's Christmas. And it's a minor miracle that these two blast furnaces have been preserved. I would suggest that they augment the tours with photos or videos that might help bring these hulking structures to life a bit more, and maybe insert some specific stories about immigrants and working families, union battles, and other colorful bits about Homestead. Sure, a windfall of donor support and a visitor center would go a long way to improving things on that score, but a little shift in emphasis could be done on a budget. Either way, Rivers of Steel is hugely important for preserving the region's steel heritage, and their efforts to extend that support to the community are vital.

Each year, I try to find something unique vs just a thing that he wouldn't use. It's an easy drive from DC, and the town of Frostburg is so adorable. We have two 5 year olds, and the staff was very friendly and explained how the tour would be structured. My kids just loved pushing the pedals and seeing the scenery pass by. For this first outing, I ended up booking one of the shorter tours, going with the Woodcock Hollow Express. It was the perfect option, especially with younger kids. It was entertaining enough, without them getting bored. It's one way, and man, our car went fast! I sat in the back, while my partner sat in the front of the car. It takes coordination on braking, which he clearly needed some work with! But we did manage to slow down before hitting the other guests riding in front of us. Once you reach the end of the track, the tour has a bus waiting, which will transport you back to the train station. The driver gave us some great tips and history as we rode the 15-20 minute ride back. Overall, a fantastic experience. I would totally do it again and try one of their other longer tours, especially as our kids get older.

We were all excited but the moment we entered the boat I immediately felt an unwelcomed kind of vibe from our boat captain. Nothing happened the way the lady explained: 1. The captain totally silent and didn't even explained anything. I had to ask him and then only he talked and said about the river and the buildings 2. There was no bathroom break and we had to hurriedly run out to find the bathroom 3. The most irritating part was when we said that he expected $100 tip.... Really dude. You expected $100 for a SHITTY service. Hello NO..... $1 would be even too much One good thing is that he waited for us to get the purse that was left because we hurried out.
