    What a gorgeous old building! Did you even feel like maybe you were born in the wrong century?

    The previous poster beat me to it. What a great looking building! I’d love to just walk inside this place! It has a lot of character to it. It could probably tell quite a story or two if if could tell its secrets!

    I’ve been to the museum a looonngg time ago. I think I took my mom to see it when my two oldest were small. I don’t remember it being in this building but in a smaller building close by. Could be wrong. But the school here usually has a field trip taking one or two grade school classes to see it maybe every other year. Very interesting.

    You are right, April. The museum started out in a different building and later moved to the depot.
