What visitors say
Volunteers Amazing. While the tour guide talked to us, we felt we were there with the French, English, Spanish, Scottish, and Indians. I want to go back again soon.
Highly recommend the docent lead tours.. Amazing displays showing the area's historic value. Located in old jail built in late 1800's.
The museum was awesome!! Tickets are $10 and you can purchase online to make check in faster :) there’s a free scavenger hunt to do as well! It helps incorporate the trivia and really makes you think (there’s a free prize at the end too…
