What visitors say
Adorable museum with some fun and unexpected treasures. Lovely women worked there who gave my husband, son and I a very nice overview of the contents of the museum. They also were able to answer many questions about the items on display.
Pardon if I was taking a lot of pictures today, but I absolutely enjoyed my time there! One room full of culture and artifacts! The lady (daughter of the founders) was very knowledgeable and I enjoyed talking to her, and she was happy…
They will help you make the most of your visit! Glad we stopped in or we would have missed a few hidden gems!
