Staff were actively organizing/planning future displays during our visit which exhibits just how passionate they are about the preservation of rich history and vivid storytelling. It truly was a pleasure and find it admirable what they do. Additionally, Oliver the Museum Mascot was a wonderful greeter to visitors!"
