Small but pretty awesome

Carlos Moreno

Great place to go they had a fish tank From tank the show around stairs And best of all it's free to go

God's Child

Some of it was interesting; the historians need to add much more detail to the exhibits. The huge fish tank, while very impressive, smells truly awful and the odor permeates the air.

I recently visited this museum, because of a specialty fish tank I saw on a TV show 'Tanked". Wasn't sure what to expect. It was great! Much bigger then I expected, 2 floors with exhibits. They do give tours, or you can just look around yourself. Free admission. If you like history, I would highly recommend!

Glenn Hanna

Very nice and large museum with an interesting collection of items of all type on display. The exhibits were all arranged and displayed beautifully. Plenty of free parking is available out front including 2 charging spots for electric vehicles. There is no fee for admission but donations are accepted.

Dawn Leeds

We go here often as a family. Kids love the fish tank and going to each exhibit. We also attend the events and lectures. A whole family place young or old.

Hazel Brown Thompson

We have been here a few time. It nice, But it needs to show more on the African Americans in the history of it county.

Several exhibits showing the history of the area so it is a nice trip back in time. Every thing is displayed well. There is much more to see than the old museum had to offer!

Great local museum within a historic building. Friendly staff. Nice little gift shop with local fare. Free admission, but drop a few bucks into the donation bucket. Great local museums need all the help they can get to keep them running. Will be back!!

This is a definite must to go to. The displays are wonderful, from the dolls to the military to the different animals. The gift shop is a plus and there is a fish tank that was built by the Tanked crew.

Great displays and fantastic aquarium

Hikmat El

Took my adult children here while they were in town visiting. This was a definite WIN!! For one thing: plenty of parking. Best part of all... it's free! They do have a donation jar, but well worth it. It's a good sized place and CLEAN! Very well maintained and managed. We did our self tour and were able to meander through each of the rooms taking in all the history they offered! I will definitely be going back!
