My three kids were already buckled in as we were headed to St Louis to see grandparents, and short on time. But Carol was so sweet I had to go in for a few minutes. From the outside it looked so small so shouldn't take very long. Boy was I wrong! It was huge!! It kept going and going. I was amazed at the collections they had. We spent an hour and a half with Carol as she walked us through each exhibit. Everything from fossils and geodes, two headed animals, children's toys and clothes from yesteryear, to an old hospital room(this was creepy). There was even a massive room dedicated to caskets and mourning practices from old times. It wouldn't be complete without a room dedicated to President Lincoln. I wish we lived nearby or had more time there. Carol is a history teacher and knows everything about everything, and is a clever and funny lady. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. It's an must see if you are driving through Carhage!!

It's not really a business. It is a club of people that are interested in artifacts aka archeology…read more I joined 6 months ago and have really enjoyed it. There are very knowledgeable folks that attend and anyone is welcome to bring artifacts. If you don't know what you've found, there's a good chance someone at the meeting will be able to help you identify it! I have gotten to see some real cool Native American pieces that others have found in our general vicinity. They also go to Middle schools and have show and tells to interest and help educate the younger folks about archeology! Did you know there were wooly mammoth bones found near Oskaloosa, Iowa in 2010! I sure didn't and 1 of the guys in the club actually participated in the dig. How cool!!! Open to the public so Please come join us!

I first visited the Carthage Jail in 1982, soon after I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of…read moreLatter-day Saints. It strengthened my testimony and still today. Visiting Carthage Jail can be sad, because it's where Joseph and Hyrum Smith were martyred. But, I'm grateful for the opportunity to remember the great lives they lived and the contributions to the salvation of mankind they made. To quote John Taylor, "They lived great..." I'm thankful for all of the blessings that I enjoy today because of them. The Church of Jeuss Christ of Latter-day Saints has taken extraordinary care of the site. The missionaries at the site are wonderful and give complimentary tours. The history of the site is well worth a visit.

I was touched by their comments about how supportive Hyrum Smith was of his younger brother Joseph. Wish I had an older brother like that.

Absolutely the best burgers in town hands down! They also have daily specials and a salad bar!…read moreService is top tier and always greeted with a smile. Foods always hot and fresh! And beers always cold!!

Pretty good food. Not bad in ambience…read more We had the fried beans which were excellent. Highly recommend. For entrees we had a couple of their grilled chicken wraps and the Woody Smashburger. I read the menu wrong because when I saw "grilled chicken wrap" I thought it was grilled chicken that was in a cold wrap. Especially because it had lettuce. But it is apparently a chicken wrap that is grilled like a panini. It was good but the lettuce inside became quite soft being that hot. Not my favorite texture. No sides included in your entrees so $11 seems reasonable for a chicken wrap until you realize that it would be $4 for fries. We paid for a side of fries with the smashburger and it was probably the equivalent of a medium at Wendy's. So not the best value. But the taste was very good. Overall I would eat here again. Service was pretty fast for a Friday lunch.

The owner is super friendly and made sure we had a great time. Was a blast being able to play some of my childhood favorites. I couldn't believe most games were only 25 cents. Typically when you think pizza and arcade you think of chucky cheese and to be honest I think that made my expectations for the pizza to be absolutely terrible. To my surprise it was awesome! The perfect amount of sauce, a light saltiness, herbs and spices you can taste right off the pizza. This thing was packed with flavors. The tables have plenty of red pepper, salt pepper and cheese, and there's even free water. Bathrooms were clean. All in all I'm looking forward to bringing 4 of my friends this Saturday to play some Guantlet! Can't believe this place has been sitting under my nose but happy Keokuk has a great arcade and pizza place!
