What visitors say
What a pleasant surprise to find this interesting museum. Everything was displayed so thoughtfully. It stirs up your imagination on what and how things used to be. What a collection! You won’t be disappointed for stopping in!
We had a wonderful time at the museum. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and the information and items are very well displayed. I would recommend and encourage anyone to visit and learn about local history.
A local museum... so local in fact it is mainly sourced from two families. I am sure you can guess the name. If you happen to be in the area, stop by for a visit. Should you not be able, then be sure to visit the virtual tour here on…
