Christopher Reyes is the creative force behind the transformation of the river museum into an immersive experience called “Baron Von Opperbean and the River of Time.”
He and Marvin Stockwell are the tour guides for potential investors and those who might be interested generally in the transition of the old Mud Island River Museum.
It’s taking place amid decades-old artifacts including a catfish aquarium and riverboat dioramas.
