Super helpful staff in the archives area. The museum has items of regional significance, well explained exhibits, books for sale and souvenirs.
This was an exceptional museum. The staff were very helpful to us looking up information on our ancestors. Go to see this special place. Amazing prehistoric Native American artifacts.
What a great museum! Lively too! We walked in to find a student group and an assisted living group visiting at the same time. Not to mention several volunteers working on collections projects. Lots of great things to see here—especially the interaction of students and seniors. This museum plays an essential role in the wider community and is definitely not a dusty old building. A very energizing place! My favorite display was the tilt a whirl exhibit.
Stem school 1st graders were excited to work the different stations set up to teach the children how things were done in the 1800's. Come check out them out during the Rice County Fair!
Great small town history. Will have to make another trip because there is just so much to see!
