Inside the Mannum Visitor Information Centre, this museum features info on local Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal communities, an 1876 dry dock (possibly the only one of its kind in the world), a display on the infamous 1956 flood, and the restored 1897 paddle steamer PS Marion, on which you can occasionally chug around the river.
