There are also exhibits on the area's Native American tribes, as well as displays on the impact of World War II on the community.
Throughout the year, the museum hosts a variety of special events and programs, including lectures, workshops, and family-friendly activities. Visitors can also take a guided tour of the museum, led by knowledgeable docents who can provide insights into the exhibits and the history of the area.
