What visitors say
Nice, friendly museum.. great displays.
Kind and welcoming. My favorite part was the crystals and minerals they had on display.
Really great stop, especially if you are riding motorcycles. The staff are super friendly and displays and artifacts are very interesting!! Oh, and the restrooms are nice and clean. A lot better than most of your choices. Perfect…
