“Enjoyed our visit to this wonderful interactive museum where you are positively encouraged to touch things!”

“A well-run, informative and interesting small museum on the main street. It’s mostly volunteer-run and they do a great job in keeping it and making you feel welcome…Check out the herb garden too.”
