Ella Sharp Museum

It's a hidden gym. We had fun enjoying the museum of Art and Space. Then explored the old cabin, school and house. Antiques displayed over there takes us back in time. Kuds lived the petting zoo, sheep shearing and maple syrup making.

We were so grateful to be allowed to use Ella's house for our wedding ceremony Oct 2022. If you want something small, intimate and old fashioned, definitely worth the limited time window and while you can't touch/sit on everything, it was very cool to be provided with mostly period (to the house) chairs for our guests to sit on.

The fall festival was a lot of fun, with crafts for the kids. Several food trucks and a beautiful museum.

The old house tour was ok. The old school looks nice too. The idea of volunteers dressed up like old-fashioned teachers is pretty nice. Kids and noise reduces experience quality for older people. Planetarium movie is very disappointing (7-min fake simulated video that does not show any details of stars or planets. The gallery is of poor quality too with almost no quality artifacts or paintings. Maybe my expectation is too high for a mid-size city.

Love this local museum. The toddler exhibits have been the perfect way to spend a few hours. My son asks to come often and he has a blast. The events that are held are always great and we love having this little piece of history so close to home. Not to mention we had the first wedding in the new addition back in 2007. Ella Sharp is close to my heart.

I used to work here about 15 years and it was full of history and art. Now it's sort of a hands on kids museum or something. I was really disappointed. I mean if you are interested in that, then it will be fine for you. The Andrew's Gallery used to be beautiful and now there are fallen labels, blue sticky marks and the whole place needs painting. While my son enjoyed the dino exhibit for about 5 mins (lots of rubber on the ground and it smelled), I was brokenhearted to see the history gallery was GONE. Seems like a museum that is missing is identity. I'm giving it 2 stars because Ken at the front desk is a gem.

We were attending a wedding in the park adjacent to the museum and couldn't pass up a chance to check this place out! We had such a nice time here. It was a smaller scale museum but the exhibits were very nice and everything was well taken care of. It was definitely worth the entry price for the amount of exhibits there were to check out. Nice little history lesson we had.
