Admission is super cheap at $4 for adults so you'll find no less expensive entertainment anywhere. We've become somewhat connoisseurs of local museums and this one is among the best we've seen. Even though the space is small, the exhibits are well designed, topically arranged, and easy to read and understand. The collections are pretty extensive as well. I especially appreciate how well they handled some socially & historically challenging parts of human behavior during the time periods covered. Instead of sanitizing and whitewashing how people treated one another, this museum acknowledged our past without shame, blame, or condemnation--it was limited to the statements of events. Can't say enough good things about this place. Everyone needs to check this out.

I assume it's meant for lake house owners who want to furnish their vacation homes, because it's definitely priced accordingly. It's all nice-looking and tasteful, just... expensive. However, they also have a selection of more affordable art prints, decorative items, scented candles, and fragrance/beauty type gifts that's more affordable for the casual browser. They had some fun vintage-style metal sign art that would look cool in a cabin or kitchen, especially if you're going for an Idaho or country theme. The scented candles make it fairly smelly inside - sensitive noses beware! Worth a browse if you're strolling through the mall.
