Wonderful family-run museum with passionate and expert owners who willingly answer questions, or leave you on your own to explore.. A gorgeous collection of mounted and unmounted stones, beautifully displayed in furniture-grade wooden cabinets, inside a "castle" with stained glass windows and mahogany floors. You can go just to admire the pretty pieces, or to spend more time and learn the process of mining, sorting, cutting, polishing and mounting these gemstones -- and some finished pieces are true works of art, Bonus: to the side of the Museum, with an entry off 2nd Street, is a spacious fenced parking lot, which is free. (You enter the Museum through double doors in that lot anyway; so you might as well park there!)
