It is much more than arrow point collections. There is a dugout canoe that was found in a local lake after it was drained. "The permanent collection contains more than 200,000 authentic artifacts, including pottery, jewelry, clothing, tools, and weapons, making it possible to get a cross-section of entire cultures including their approaches to medicine, religion, customs, and daily life."
