Wayne County Historical Museum, Richmond

Was looking for something new to try out and definitely glad I stumbled across this. As soon as we entered we were greeted by a very friendly employee who gave us a bit of info about the items on display. My husband and teen daughter loved all they had on display. I loved that they had the houses on site. It was definitely a step back in time. My daughter was even enjoying hunting for all the hidden mummies in displays. As we were leaving I saw the memorial next to the bell. I wish there had been more info on it as I am not from the area. It definitely sparked my curiosity though and as soon as we got home I looked up the Death in a Sunny Street. The actual book was online to read so I read it last night. It is definitely a heartbreaking story. Great place to visit and the price is perfect for what is there. Will be back in the future I'm sure.

Very interesting history of the Articles inside. And how it all came about. We were there prior to Halloween so it was decorated for it. So it was somewhat distracting but it was for the children. We were in Richmond and was killing time and it sounded great. Haven't been in a museum in a long time. You really ain't going to believe what they have in there. Check it out, I'm going back!
