Very unique exhibit. Bought the VIP experience without reading the details. Showed up with my 15 year old son and was surprised to find out that the photographer was going to take us around and take photos of us. This was a really nice surprise and having someone capture those special moments made the experience unforgettable. The rooms of each exhibit are fantastic with lots of details.

Lots of information and history. Cool videos of people telling their own story. Small but nice. Seed lending library is interesting. This is a reference library so no books can be checked out.

It is part of the public library system and there is no mention of cost in the website. I assume it is free.

Who is the curator?

Not listed on the website. Call the branch or any if the other branches and I'm sure they can help you with that information.

Is there a nearby Hotel? Will be summer visiting from out of state.
