Admittedly, we did not see the entire museum. For some reason my kiddo got totally freaked out and would not go to most of it.
Both littles enjoyed the loft area, which has a model wigwam and teepee. There is also a large collection of arrowheads found in the area.
Most of the museum was jam-packed full of antique items. There was plenty of daylight, but most of the lights were turned off, so it was still a bit dark.
There is a mock one-room schoolhouse set up on the second floor.
It was a bummer that the kids couldn't touch anything. I was hopeful when a sign mentioned something about playing in the schoolhouse, but there were signs all over once we got up there saying not to touch anything.
There were some easy opportunities I saw for them to make this museum a bit more interactive, but it is really just a very large collection of stuff. Don't get me wrong, I found it pretty interesting! It is a place worth stopping by once for an hour.
The curator was very friendly.
