My wife and I visited the Old Town Trolley depot and got tickets for the Trolley ride, Old Jail and Old Store. I was reluctant to spend the money on the old store because it sounded boring...but it was far from it. The lady in the front of the store was very informative, and interesting. The guy in the back - his name was Orville - very funny. We learned about the history of sewing machines, bicycles, typewriters and the washing machine run by a goat. His stories were great. I'd recommend this to everyone.

The Oldest Store Museum was average. As a 30/37 year old, it wasn’t nothing we walked away in awe and we love history. The tour is guided.
