The little schoolhouse exhibit was interesting, with its list of rules for teachers in the 1800s. There were old photos of the area, and even a 9/11 exhibit.

A fine weavers museum with exhibits, workrooms, a knowledgeable staff and very active visitors. A shop to purchase handmade items. At some functions participants buy, sell and swap their goods.

We enjoyed visiting the museums During the Christmas season. The displays were well kept and offered information on the local history. The staff was informative and answered our questions about the area.

They change the displays annually and sometimes during the summer. This is a small place that doesn't take long to visit. Sometimes there are special tours and discussions that people can sign up for. The decoy carving discussion is very good. The gift shop offers many local themed items for sale.

The Clayton boat show & museum are just wonderful. The show is always a great display of vintage boats & nautical themes

This is a little museum with a real assortment of collections: the winning entries in the annual duck/goose decoy contest, an old-fashioned kitchen display, photographs of local history, a feature on a now defunct local company that manufactured snow plows, a gift shop with locally made crafts. A little of this, a little of that. It's free, and a pleasant way to spend some time.

It was cute, but not much is there. They seem to really cater to genealogists...half of the place is taken up by the research library. A lot of decoys and fishing lures.

What a great little museum. Wonderful research area in the back. Nice gift shop and great display of decoys. Great educational facility that even my teenagers found interesting. Free admission was very nice for a family on a budget but we did make sure we put something in the volunteer donation jar.

i love nascar and high speed races but the visual sighting of the history of wooden boats slow and fast ,faster,and fastest was a part of our history that should be told more to our children in early classes and highlighted in high schools for the bright engineers to go on with boat making futures.what a great beginning us common folk stepped on and just exploded with one concept and design on and on.what brillant people in the boating world . thank you for all of this rich history and dedication for the water people of the world.

Enthusiasts of duck decoys and hunting, as well as fishermen of muskies and other local fish would enjoy the entire floor devoted to these topics including dozens of prize winning decoys, bios of decoy carvers, fishing trophies, history and equipment. The first floor includes local artifacts of changing local topical exhibits and a well stocked library of documents and photos.

The ladies are helpful and this is the place if you have any local history or geneological queries. They change the displays regularly. Warning: its just a few rooms!
