The configuration of the museum with a ship's hull at the front is a nice touch. CONs: The museum felt a bit old and unkept. The video displays were low quality and the main movie does not run on a loop. You have to ask the staff member at the museum to play the video, which seems a bit unorganized.

Something funky going on in the walls, but the AC was worth it. Love all the information on the walls. Timeline starts in the 1500s and goes to present day. The history of the maps, ownership, wars and battles, etc. All very fascinating. The restrooms were clean and spacious. (On first floor) Second floor has MORE information, displays, even a creepy doll collection. For $4 I'd say it was worth it. Actually I only paid $3 because I got the 3 exhibits for $9 which includes this museum, lighthouse and treasures museum. So overall worth it!
