1st time 1997 - they have added building and stuff. So glad that we stopped. Missed the movie because there is NOWHERE in Encampment to stay that accepts any PETS (Norwegian Forest Cat) Also we couldn't spend time at the 307 and enjoy the people as we did in the past. ( Sandra Lee )

Informative museum with friendly docents. I wish I had more time to spend there but you can get private tours of the buildings and their contents. Lots of history to be learned in a comfortable environment.
