The ground level contained a gift shop, several rooms with antique furniture, and a room that contained a timeline of Jamestown and Chautauqua county history as well as locally made items. Some of the exhibits upstairs included a furniture room, an upside down Christmas tree, a toy room, observation tower, Lucille Ball photographs, and more.

There were docents spread throughout the museum, and QR codes to watch videos on the items in each room. Overall worth the visit!

Great place to spend an afternoon. This is a self-guided tour. Once you pay your $10 you're on your own. Con's - there has to be something bad about every place you go. Here there are a lot of stairs. There is no way to maneuver most of the building if you cannot do the stairs. No elevator. I went in July, it was so hot in the building. Might want to try it in the winter time. Also the lighting is poor. Lots of things to read, but could not see what was written on the cards. wanted to know more about sometimes, but there was no information on and no one to ask.
