There is an original whaling ship, the Charles W. Morgan in the river behind the museum. It is totally seaworthy and you can walk all over it. It was built in 1841. Incredible history. They have a planetarium that has a real astronomer who is an outstanding guide and narrator. The village in the museum looks like something out of the 1800s, which it is. There is something for everyone but if you want to see everything it might take 2 days or more. This is a truly outstanding museum.
