One of the highlights of our trip was this small, creative, educational museum. There is a lot of history and great content packed into this place that told an amazing story. It is well laid out, almost the size of a very large house, not overwhelming. Even with everything we knew about the crash, we learned so many interesting tidbits, makes me want to go back and research the crash even more.
