I stopped in the heritage centre for a quick look, and got engrossed in the history of the place and the people for nearly an hour! Well laid out, not overly long info panels, nice displays, e.g. local lacework. It doesn't have to be raining to make this a worthwhile stop. Tourist information shares the same building.
