Museum Honors Putmans With Barge Theater Name

The National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium in Dubuque, Iowa, has renamed its barge theater the Capt. Jeremy & Julie Putman Barge Theater, honoring Riverview Companies owners Jeremy and Julie Putman for their dedication to the Mississippi River and their continued support of the museum. The naming was announced November 6 during the museum’s annual Captain’s Ball, where Riverview Companies was a major event sponsor. Jeremy Putman, president of Riverview Companies, serves on the boards of both the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium and the National Rivers Hall of Fame. The Putmans bought Riverview Boat Store in Bellevue, Iowa, in 2003, and they have since expanded to two grocery supply stores, Riverview Tug Service and Riverview Marine Repair, serving the commercial marine industry from the Upper Mississippi River to the Louisiana Gulf Coast. “The Mississippi River has been a huge part of our lives, both personally and professionally,” Jeremy Putman said.
