Also there was no toilet paper in any of the female stalls, and the paper towels were in a basket in front of the entrance instead actually within reach of the sinks. The handicap access to the train exhibit was also shut down, which sucked for those who couldn't use the stairs, but the train itself had a musty, dank, mildew smell to it (which I just...

They include antique cars and snowmobiles, steam engines, many old tools, wooden models of planes and boats, plastic detailed models of cars, a couple older real airplanes overhead, and much more; all in excellent condition. Outside are collections of antique fire engines, antique outboard boat motors, lots of equipment, old trains and rail cars,...
