5.0 Art Bar at Liv Again (2 reviews)
- The best table!!

This was a fantastic store located near the college. I found it by chance, it was one of those frustrating places where you love everything and want to take everything with you until you are reminded that you are travelling, sigh. One person I was with even explored how to obtain the amazing round, hand made dining room table. So many unique pieces and so little time! They also had fabric for sale to create pillows, as well as art work, pottery and dishes of exceptional patterns. Come here only if you can handle not being able to take everything :) See more..

- Excellent interpretive exhibit that pulls you into the story of Harriett Tubman's life and moves visitors.
Saturday: 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM History Museums

Right now reservations are required due to COVID 19 and there is plenty of hand sanitizer and few enough people to allow for social distancing. We met a few family members there ranging from senior citizens to tweens and they were all moved by the experience of visiting the museum. Harriet Tubman suffered through horrific conditions and situations and persevered. The exhibits recount these situations but leave visitors with profound respect for Harriet's accomplishments as well as a sense of hope and inspiration. I hope to be able to return soon to complete the driving tour. See more..
