We purchased a combo ticket that included the Oldest Store museum as a part. While I probably wouldn't have bought a ticket just for this, we had a very enjoyable time. Elizabeth, our tour guide, was the best! We enjoyed her deadpan delivery and tongue in cheek humor very much. It was a great way to spend about 30 minutes. Plus it is air conditioned which was a much appreciated break from the late June heat and humidity.

Molly was great! She played the part of the tour guide and worker very well! My boyfriend and I learned so much on how people use to live.

We had Genevieve, I believe that is how you spell it. She was wonderful. Kept us engaged and laughing. She had wonderful stories and was very animated. It was just me and my husband but we hope to come back and bring our boys!
