It's really great really unique place I've never seen any other place with memorabilia George and Martha Washington just to name a few things and it's free so you cannot be it with a stick hospitals going all the way back to ancient Egypt 3000 years ago

Open to the public for free but donations are welcomed. Museum was relevant and held interest and a challenge to find presidential history.
