Inexpensive museum that's been well preserved and has lots of fun artifacts and displays. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgable and they were very patient with my four year-old. Lovely views from the top of the tower and my kids received certificates for making it to the top. It's also right on the Oak Leaf Trail, which is great for walking or biking.
