Nice museum. No parking or entrance fee. Free parking for two hours. We went through the museum, spent time in the rocking chairs on the porch and walked the beach.

Me and my fiancé went and visited the museum and absolutely loved it. We love history! Seeing how much things have changed throughOut the years was amazing. The coordinator was extremely nice, we had caught her as she was about to close and she was nice enough to let us look around. Afterwards it’s a tradition now for me and my fiancé to go the pit and find sharks teeth and cool little things. We have actually found a lot of sharks teeth and other things that we have put in a vase and will be showing them at our wedding because it’s something that we do together, which makes it special to us!! I would definitely recommend this little museum of history to everyone!

This place was really fun to explore with my girlfriend while we are on vacation from New York State.

Cute little museum! Outside there’s a place to look for shark teeth. There’s a model of what the beach used to look like which the kids really like to look at. There’s lots of different shells for kids to see as well. Really cool to hear about the history of WB and the train.

Is this free

Yes it is. It's a wonderful small museum with free lemonade and often cookies. There is an outdoor area that is always open when you can hunt for shark teeth and fossils and on Tuesdays they have touch tank Tuesday where you can explore animals from the ocean like crabs and oysters and touch and feel. It's a great educational experience and since it's free we usually pop down to the ice cream stand just over the bridge across from tower 7.
