This museum and learning experience are a fresh breath of education and history amongst all the tourist locations. The grounds are beautiful. The exhibits are informative. There is a short video introduction, house to tour, and an underground exhibit where you can learn about the early people who lived there. It was an interesting stop. The employees and volunteers were phenomenal.

Wonderful little gem of a museum with knowledgeable and attentive staff. It really shows that the place is made and maintained with love.
