Pennsylvania Angler & Boater - January/February 2014 - 31
This full-scale replica of the Pennsylvania state record Muskellunge is on display inside the Conneaut Lake Museum. The record fish weighed
54 pounds, 3 ounces.
Conneaut Lake Museum
The all-volunteer Conneaut Lake Area
Historical Society operates a well-maintained
and welcoming museum just one block from
Route 6 in downtown Conneaut Lake. Summer
hours for the museum are Saturday and Sunday
afternoons from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. Admission is
free, although monetary donations are accepted.
The museum is located at 150 North Third Street,
Conneaut Lake, and is open by appointment yearround. Contact (814) 382-7761.
My favorite map inside the museum is a large
diagram indicating the locations where each of the
archaeological treasures described in this article
and many other sunken boats, wagons and items
have been found beneath the waters of Conneaut
Lake, as well as the routes taken by the ferries.
Besides the well restored Liberty II and the
bones of extinct species, there are also examples
of more mundane objects recovered from the
lake's depths such as toboggan wheels, bottles,
keys, glasses and brass belt buckles. Other
exhibits include the history of Exposition Park
(today called Conneaut Lake Park), numerous
steamboats, famous visitors and entertainers,
clothing styles, military memorabilia and
uniforms and other materials, which give insight
to how life on the shores of this lake have changed
over time.
Looking ahead
Visitors at
Conneaut Lake
Museum admire
the restored
Liberty II
race boat.
Given the size and heavy use of Conneaut Lake, it's very
possible that more mastadons or additional extinct critters may
still be found beneath her surface, along with more artifacts from
anglers, bathers and others.

This 330 horsepower L-8 aircraft engine manufactured
by General Motors caused too much vibration for air
travel, so it powered the Liberty II race boat instead to
speeds of 78 miles per hour.
