    A lot about the local history (UP to [LOL] and including Robert Wadlow) the world's tallest person. They have on display his graduation cap & gown with some interesting facts about it along with some of his shoes, masonic ring and other artifacts. Actually the little museum is packed with local information and well displayed! I recommend this museum if you can find it open and have the time. There are 2 or 3 reserved parking spaces directly behind the museum reserved for visitors. Enjoy! We sure did! See more..
