Great to remember
This museum is in a historical beautiful building and combines several subjects. First it is an old jailhouse from 1883. We were met at the door by a very nice man who took us on a personal tour. He was very knowledgeable and was open to all questions. The second half of the building was a museum of local war veterans and was very interesting. Should always remember these folks.
