Come and browse.... You can see a mammoth's teeth and bones, a general store, the Setterlund Runestone, a 1909 REO, a barber shop, an Ox Cart, a model of Fort Pomme de Terre, a birch bark canoe, and a plethora of items from bygone years. You can research your family through the archives of old newspapers, family histories, plat books, and cemetery records.
Don't leave without going through the Veterans Hall honoring the many service members from Grant County.
