"My family and I visited on a field trip in January. The staff/ volunteers were so friendly. We toured the facility and saw so many amazing museum pieces. My kids especially loved interacting and observing the wide range of items being displayed. There was also a craft experience and a story time with an amazing story about a lady who wanted to help soldiers during the World War."
