I happened to run across the dredge in April 2013 on a towboat watching trip. I had no idea they were considering it for a museum; I thought it was just laid up or retired. I didn't get any decent photos due to the weather and the number of trees surrounding the slip the dredge is moored in.
On a related note, I found the steam dredge William M.Black in Dubuque, Iowa well worth the visit. Absolutely huge, with well preserved machinery, and its just one exhibit in a well-stocked maritime and river museum.
