Museum at the Friends Home

Local history museum

😠 The sign in front of the museum clearly says it all, that they are open on Saturdays from 1pm to 5pm. Even if you check online, that same schedule is posted. I drove a long way to see this museum that, based on comments online, seems interesting. I thought it’s something that I could write about. Bu...

Historic Hannah House

Historical place

😠 Went on a ghost hunt at this beautiful historic site.

Then he decided to stick around and drink beer wi...
