Beautiful old building! The stained glass windows, entryway tile, and abundance of gorgeous wood created the ambience my daughter wanted to surround her on her wedding day.

Showed up on a Friday around noon and toured the Courthouse. Interesting but I was there to see the Old Jail. After the Courthouse tour I asked if I could walk over and see the Jail. I was told their was no one there to take me on the tour. This was after I had called the day before to make sure everything would be open the day I was there. Very disappointed.

Wonderful gem of a museum! We visited for the first time and were surprised by how much there was to see and do. They have touch me stations in each exhibit for kids. Dont miss the jail tour or the doll house scavenger hunts!

Cool. A little pricey for a small town museum, and the curator didnt know what he was talking about lol but overall good.

Great museum in the 100 yr old restored courthouse. Various rooms highlight local history beginning with Native Americans and includes many hands-on activities. It also features displays on Regal Ware and a war room which honors our veterans without sgar coating war. Be sure to ask if you can get a tour of the jail next door, the docent gives a fasicating glimpse into the life of the sheriff.
