I have driven past this museum several times a month for over a year. I finally went in and I am glad that I did. I always enjoy local history with displays of antique items.
My favorite exhibit was the TB one. I suppose it's because there's a lot of recent news about it. I hadn't realized that there was a severe TB outbreak last century and it was the worst in Washingotn.
