“My favourite part about the museum is that there are so many buildings to explore, the blacksmith shop, the pioneer house and the boat. I bring my nephew every summer to see the new exhibit.” - Claire J., retired teacher
“Having staff explain so much to us—and with so much knowledge and interest—really made the visit enjoyable!” - Jessica S., group tour operator
