Crane Store Museum in Williamsburg MO along the old U.S. 40 National Road was voted 3rd best in offbeat attractions by readers of the Rural Missouri Magazine. They have quite an interesting collection of artifacts ranging from arrow heads, automobiles, furniture, toys, old gas pumps and much more. Something for everyone. Well worth the visit.

"History of Crane's

The Crane Family moved to the Williamsburg area in 1828 and has only moved about 7 miles in all that time. Joe's family members would take an interest in a certain item and end up with quite a collection. Arrowheads, dolls, general store items such as tobacco tags and biscuit tins, farm implements, Victorian furnishings, and antique cars are only a few categories of interesting items that can be found in the museum. Original land grants are housed in the museum as well." ("http://www.cranesmuseum.org/index.php" target="_blank">visit link)
