Did you know the very nice older man who volunteers at the museum is the son of the man who built the Blue Whale? He's so cool and full of interesting stories!! Go chat with him!
The ladies that work there are all extremely kind! I got the pleasure of talking with Evelyn and she’s just a sweetheart! She was so sweet to converse with me and my family and be interested in us. We went in the fall and the museum…
