Took the grand kids 2 and 5, they had a great time here. They had a scavenger hunt that the 5 year old really enjoyed. We had to look at each exhibit closely to find all the items. There were several other kids there also enjoying it all. They have table set up just so kids can touch and pick... More

While the museum is small, they pack a lot of information in this space. My main goal was to see Misty and Stormy, the main characters of two of my favorite childhood books.

(Trip Advisor just named it the seventh best island in the USA.) The exhibits are fascinating, chronicling the history of... More

Wonderful exhibits and really great for kids. The scavenger hunt was great fun for all. Don't miss it!

Very interesting and worth the admission cost. Don't miss it as you are going over the bridge to the Wildlife Refuge.
