We visited with the curator, Don Long, for over an hour and learned so many interesting facts that we never would have known if we hadn't stopped by for this waymark.

This museum will be moving to its new home, across the street, to the old newly restored Courthouse in April and will be able to unpack and display all their artifacts that they have run out of room for at the present time.

Volunteers are staffing the temporary museum.
