About Green River Museum

Run by a nonprofit volunteer group formed in 2002, the museum sits within Butler County Park in Woodbury. The group works to restore and explain land and structures that once served as a federal base for managing navigation on the Green River. Butler County owns the property, but the nonprofit cares for it under an arrangement. Operations are supported through donations, fundraisers, memberships, and grants, and volunteers also contribute time and expertise.
