I've always been fascinated with the 1800s and life in olden-times. This museum is the real thing. It's got everything saved, even furniture and clothes. The atmosphere of history is so thick you could cut it with a knife. And I learned some stuff I never knew about life in the 1850s - and that's saying something because I thought I knew it all. Definitely worth a visit if you like to know about the past.
