How was your visit?

We'd love to hear from you!

Beautiful architecture and woodwork surround an historic home and doctors office. The museum hosted elementary artwork from the city schools and invited families to attend and explore the museum. Great piece of Sylvania history.

My 6 year old daughter went there today with her latchkey camp group. She said that of all the field trips they've taken this summer that this was her favorite.
