“Was a great way to spend the morning. The collection was impressive. The people there were very knowledgeable and not pushy. You can wander through it your own pace but they were more than happy to answer any questions or comments. A lot of free literature was available. And we loved the chance to be hands on with some of the collection. That made and impression on our concept if they actual times and experiences if they era.“
