jackson county historical museum

We discovered this awesome museum while driving the Grant Wood Scenic Byway. Its in a machine shed at the Jackson County fairgrounds, and is well worth a visit. The downstairs has an amazing assortment of artifacts, such as an antique Wurlitzer harp, a working player piano, antique agricultural equipment, a military exhibit, and many other items of historical significance. Upstairs there are representations of rooms from different eras, a one-room schoolroom, and much more. The museum is handicap accessible; there is an elevator for those who have trouble with stairs. My only regret is that we didn't have more time to spend perusing. We will definitely be back!
