The Periauger is the only known replica in the world of a boat used to haul goods across the inland waterways of King George’s young colony. Originally it would have been a dugout log split and equipped with two forward sails and oars called sweeps. The work vessel was listed on a 1751 inventory of the Sanders’ homestead. The Newbold-White House is the home of the Periauger. The vessel serves as a mobil ambassador of the Colonial complex and its history.
