Interesting museum and gift shop. I enjoyed looking at the old photos and reading about the history of this area. Located on a lovely street with lots of shops and restaurants.
This place is fun place to visit and it’s free, although a bit scares on items and they try to get you to donate or buy something from the gift shop which only has cliche Knick knacks. The lady behind the counter told me someone paid the rent(which I’m sure is very high) for them for like 2 years. I imagine it’ll disappear after that time due to not being able to cover the high rent, so go see now while you can.
They had a beautiful display of memories, books and videos. I plan on going back.
Pay 0 to get in. Great history and momorabilia. If you do a treasure hunt you get a prize. (free)
Quaint local museum with neat exhibits and lovely docents. We always pop in when we have out-of-state visitors.
