Why Don't More People Visit?

When we visited on a Saturday Afternoon the place was almost deserted. I have no idea why. The animal carvings by Floyd Scholz were amazing, and the Native American art was the sort of thing that is rarely seen. Add in the interesting section on...More

Gem in the country

This made for really fun afternoon. Even the permanent exhibits of Native American art, bird carvings and covered bridges are quite interesting and well done. Make sure to take time to walk around the grounds to see the various sculptures.

A small, yet impressive museum

The wildlife art is impressive . The Covered Bridges exhibit was informative. The exhibit that most struck me is the Native Amerian collection. Most of the pieces are from the West....Navajo and Hopi. Exquisite!
