Be sure and check out their thrift shop next door, which is how they generate funds to keep the museum going. We didn't purchase anything, but it was like a small antique store.

From the sad and serious World War II Diaries to the whimsical stuffed owl and rabbit that were electrocuted, the Historical Museum is fun for all ages. There's even an old piano that the kids are...

Great place to recharge! The museum was free for our daughter's island birthday celebration so that was nice We were early in the season so it wasn't crowded & got to see some migratory birds also!

This was a nice area. The church has a original house that belongs to the church set up as a little thrift store that supports local people in need. Stop buy I'm sure they will have something you will like plus you can read the history of the church and the house. They are both historical land marks. They have a big sign that tells the history of both. The lady that was running the store was very friendly.

Beautiful old church and history center. Since it is staffed primary from volunteers on the island not all the buildings are monitored all the time when they are open.

Sweet little museum. Collection demonstrated island life throughout history. Really nice staff. People should visit the cemetery as well for history.
