This place is pretty good as far as small local historical museums go.  The theme is "Century to Century" so they've got older stuff (pioneer, logging, and coal memorabilia etc.) but they've also got kids' toys from the 80's, which was just kind of weird to me.  That part felt more like a garage sale than a museum exhibit but I think that's just because that stuff doesn't seem all that old to me.  I guess when my kid comes to museum again in 20 or so years all that stuff from the 80's will seem fascinating and unusual in the same way looking at my dad's toys from when he was a kid does to me now.  Weird to think a Cabbage Patch Kid will ever seem anything other than on the cutting-edge of cool!
