The Rumseian Society

Promoting understanding about James Rumsey
and the invention of the steamboat since 1983

The original Rumseian Society was established in 1788 to promote and develop the inventions
 of James Rumsey, America's first true engineer, whose steamboat was demonstrated on Dec. 3, 1787,
in front of Shepherdstown WV. on the Potomac River.  

The Society was revived in 1983 to build a replica of Rumsey's steamboat, 
and promotes the dissemination of information about  Rumsey's inventive genius.

inquiries to nick@jamesrumsey.org or call (304) 263-2531.
