The oldest store in US museum gave me a memory I won’t forget. The tour guides were role playing store owners from the 19th century. They had real items from back then and a huge collection of 19th century items which is can-touch experience as most of them are in amazing condition. Amazing demo and no glass walls or anything. Puts every other museum tour to shame! Just Amazing

Our tour guide in the front of the store was Orville. He was great. His description on the unique items in the store was enjoyable as well as informative. He was also very funny. Great tour Orville! The back of the store our tour guide was Annie. She was awesome and funny as well. She was very knowledgeable of the items and how they were used. Annie was also entertaining. Is definitely a tour I would recommend to my friends. Thanks again Orville and Annie for an awesome tour!.

This store has so many unique and historic items. My husband really wanted to go and I reluctantly went along. However, it was really, really good. The history was amazing. No other museum has such authenticity.
