More than you had any right to expect…read more I am a fully grown adult and had no idea how the pencil--the lowly pencil--is a lovely metaphor for civilization itself. I didn't know how they were made (each is made from two pieces of wood) and how the wood from Florida was combined with graphite from Siberia by craftsmen in Germany. All fascinating stuff and more than anyone has any right to expect from a small town vacation-community museum. Also oysters, clams, and Donax bristle brushes. The Museum itself is well-kept and well organized.

This museum by the local Historical society consists of two buildings:,the Lutterloh building and…read morethe Andrews house. For the price of $3 per person you get to see both. All cases and exhibits and wall hanging are clearly marked, it's organized and clean. You do have to do a bit of reading to see everything as it's self guided. There are maps and artifacts from the early Native American inhabitants through the civil war years. Everything from the cross state railroad to the factories and medical/doctors services and tools are highlighted. You can see how the wood slats for cedar pencils was made; donax brushes were constructed from the palm fiber to finished product. A timeline is provided from 1700 to the current day. You can purchase many books and a few souvenirs as well. This is an easy walk in downtown -- perfect for an after lunch activity or between lunch and ice cream. Plan on about an hour depending on how much you like to read every name plate/tag.
