I went to do research on my family history. And indeed, there was a cart full of files. The staf, upon the mention that I would like to see some files on my father, had a cart full of everything pertaining to him. What if I had decided to not drive across town in slushy weather? Such kind good hearted,... More

Good food, reasonable prices, limited menu. Ask about soup of the day for lunch

We took a group of 5th gradersw here as part of their field trip. The staff was excellent to work with from planning through the finish. The kids had a nice time and I would like to go back without them to explore a little more.

Otherwise, the History Museum has beautiful sculptures and mesmerizing art on the floor. The rotating exhiibits are well done. This is a good 1-2 hour... More
