Went here today for the first time. This place is awesome for a Sunday afternoon with the wife and kids. I particularly enjoyed the mansion. I imagined the Robersons walking about through the different rooms lol. The room that really spoke to me however was Mr. Robersonβs den . This room was his private study. It almost felt like it was still being used and like he just stepped away for a break! The local native American section was also very interesting with artifacts as old as 9000 b.c. My 9 yr old boy enjoyed the train room, the wildlife exhibit and the planetarium, he had fun too! The one minor issue that I had and that could easily be fixed was the sound system in the planetarium. It lacked the punch necessary to really engage you during the film. Investing in a quality surround sound speaker system should easily mitigate that.

It's a very worthwhile place to see with an eclectic collection. There were many beautiful prints of Windland Smith Rice Awards "Highly Honored nature photography. Each with a description. One room had a huge model train layout complete with a Drive-in theater and a garage with flickering light representing welding. Art by Linda Ciallelo and several other artists are displayed. The Nature Trek room has over 150 stuffed and mounted specimens from Lee J. Loomis. He estimated he had mounted over 10,000 birds, mammals and fish.. They are beautifully presented in several scenes in a realistic way. There are also samples of the mammal's fur to feel. The Roberson Mansion was built in 1904-1906 in Italian Renaissance Revival style. There is free off the street parking.

Went here for their holiday Christmas tree set up and wow! It exceeded my expectations. Very beautiful and educational. They had so many displays with information about Christmas traditions around the world. I loved reading them and learning about other cultures. The price to enter and view this display was insanely cheap and we got to see the entire museum and mansion. The mansion is gorgeous and there are bathrooms and elevators readily available. I highly recommend this Christmas tree event. They do it every year and it's really great

Quite unique combination of historical mansion, natural history, modern art museum and more. Combined old/modern architecture of the museum is memorable and surprisingly well-fit together. Every floor of mansion is connected to modern buildingβs wing. It is also rare occasion for me that I liked modern art exhibitions as good as historical mansionβs visit. Taxidermy collection of local animals was one of highlightβs of the visit. Plentiful parking is on the side of the building and behind its back.

This place is lacking the science part of the Museum :). The planetarium closed way too early. When we went on a Thursday the last show was 2 pm for a 5 pm closing. ????? The train and town set was impressive. The mansion was amazing. The whole museum could have been more interactive. More information thatβs visual and moving rather than static. The mansion is the center piece of this museum and worth a visit!!
