Lovely time capsule of a culture now lost. Beautiful video to watch. Nice exhibits on 2nd floor. More hunting artifacts in the attic. Friendly staff. Free admission, donations recommended. Nice place to pull off the highway and learn about local culture.

I'm so glad we stopped. The women there were lovely and knowledgeable and there were so many great photos. But the highlight for me as someone who works in museums was the curation to really show the spaces and how things were used. You won't just find a white cube gallery here. The spaces felt alive. I highly recommend stopping
