One promising sign that life may be returning to “more normal” will be at the Henderson waterfront this spring. It’s the return of the riverboats.
The first riverboat to arrive in Henderson this spring will be the American Duchess on April 22.
It’s the first of at least 20 scheduled stops by riverboats this season after the COVID-19 pandemic forced cancellation of 15 stops in Henderson last year.
The Gleaner reports that when the luxury paddlewheeler docks it will bring more than 100 visitors to shop, eat and enjoy Henderson.
The renewed boost in tourism in the Ohio River town will continue into October. Other riverboats scheduled to dock in Henderson during their cruises include Queen of the Mississippi and the American Queen.
