    "Loved it! The people here were so helpful and knowledgeable. Everyone and everything was really cool. I wandered around by myself for 2 hrs soaking up everything. It really was a perfect little day. And there are nice trails surrounding the area. I'm from out if state and I really enjoyed my visit. Thank you!"

    "What a wonderful museum. This is chock full of exhibits that will intrigue almost any mind. Plenty of historical information to accompany the visuals and the photo boards are well put together. Staff were warm and friendly and the admission price is very reasonable which I always appreciate. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to see some history of this lovely city."

    "It was my first time to tour a former prison. The access was awesome. Highly recommend the tour available from the podcast Behind Gray Walls. It allowed me to be self paced and absorb the full magnitude of the place. There’s a lot of sadness there, which admittedly is tough to process alongside the laughter of many tourists, who I’m confident meant no harm."
