What visitors say
We brought some 4th graders here on a field trip - it was an awesome experience for them and very interesting for the teachers. A wonderful piece of local history that is too easy to overlook.
Would love to see this again. How do I go about it? Would love to bring my daughter
This was awesome! Me and my kids really enjoyed it.
