One of the famous rivers of the nation, the Potomac River has seen it all. From providing easy transportation of goods to bordering towns to being the last crossing for Civil War battles, the river is rich with history as well as scenic views. Tours run by companies such as the Potomac Riverboat Company and the Potomac Belle charter boat provide a wonderful way to get a taste of the river’s place in history and to see the many sights that now line its banks.
