The museum is well done..bright..well lighted with recorded information for many displays. Though my time was not long, I had a very interesting and pleasant time in this small but good museum.

What a good museum. The artifacts were wonderful. It was easy to picture how they were used and have been carefully preserved. You are able to take your time and appreciate all the old ways of life. Very nice gift shop.
