"It's a rich museum where even the building tells an amazing story. Interesting exhibits, a lovely gift shop and a great thing to do in a charming and historic town."

"There's plenty to see here whether you believe in ghosts or not, and it's free! If you're a history buff or are on the hunt for a deceased soul that hasn't quite yet crossed over, take a visit through the old jail. Worth it!"
