I took a road trip last week to the Wayne County Historical Museum in Richmond, Indiana. It's a gem of a museum. Exhibits include a superb collection of automobiles made in Richmond, log cabins, steam powered tractors, a blacksmith shop, print shop, bakery, an extensive Native American collection, an Egyptian room containing a 3,000 year old mummy in his coffin as well as display cases filled with Egyptian artifacts just to name a few of the exciting wonders in this museum. There is a great giftshop where you can buy a souvenir or pick up a gift for a special occasion. Check out their website at http://www.waynecountyhistoricalmuseum.com/ .
One of my favorite exhibits is the large dollhouse. I've included a picture of it along with a photo of the director, Mr. James Harlan, standing in front of the museum. Visiting the museum makes a great road trip.
Hi, Brenda,
