Cute and well organized history museum and library. It is a work in progress for some of the exhibits while others are very informative.

It tools less than an hour and the reasonable admission fee contribution of $8 is for continuing the good work.

The vault is uniquely interesting and the exhibits offer visuals and media in various forms throughout.

Everything is clean and organized. There is plenty of parking and an elevator plus accessible restrooms. Oh and a mini gift shop in the front.

Overall the museum is quiet and colorful it offers a nice place to see eclectic elements of local history.

Good for all ages. Go...
