Very interesting to see and hear about Mr. Fisher’s treasure hunting expeditions! Not a large exhibit, but packed with great artifacts and information. Great family fun!

Very interesting museum, we both did the audio tour for an extra 2.00 and it was well worth it. Enjoyable visit, highly recommend.
