Heritage Museum
Centennial
Heritage Museum is all about "hands-on." The restored
1898 Kellogg House is set up for children to explore.
Public tours are informal, and there are interactive
activities for children in almost every room,
including dressing up in Victorian costumes, playing
with vintage toys, and much more. The museum grounds
offer nature trails to explore and large grassy
areas where the kids can run off that excess energy.
A small gift shop is well-stocked with inexpensive
toys and Victorian-themed items for young and
old.
