Although I have never visited this little museum, it is on my list of places to go see. They have had some good luck with their acquisitions. Apparently, indoors they have a WWI Albatross with its original skin. And, they sort of cut the grass at the Battle of Eccles Hill monument. That commemorates the last time the US tried to invade Canada, and the locals successfully beat them back. It looked a little rustic last summer when I visited.
