  • A very large with well organized, very informative and interesting displays. All the wars are covered with real local artifacts, including a a newly acquired WW1 uniform! Basic local history that even this long time local did not know! The biggest bonus is the volunteers who are passionate and know every square inch of every display with great detail and make it all come to life even more. Also, they change displays and currently for the veteran display they spent days painstakingly set up. It is so worth visiting. There is something for everyone. I easily spent 2 hours in there and did not scratch the surface!
  • Great little museum with a great and enthusiastic museum keeper/manager. He was so kind and shared so much info. It's free now but accepts and encourages donations.
