We had an educational and inspirational visit to the Tomaquag Museum today. We had a friend visiting from Germany and she is very interested in Native American culture and history. We heard about this museum and decided to make the drive to see it. The drive was beautiful (another story) and we were greeted by staff that were indigenous people. Our guide, Lindsey, was articulate, enthusiastic and informative. She led us from one exhibit to another explaining them with a focus on civil rights and justice. We learned many things about indigenous people and her tribe. The museum is small and loaded with interesting exhibits. The best part was the commitment and excitement of the staff. I highly recommend the visit.

This is a must stop! First off, it’s free. Second, Keith knows so much about sharks, their history, and presence in pop culture that he is able to answer all your questions even it you consider yourself a shark expert. Third, his collection is amazing. He has so many shark artifacts that just looking around it worth the walk upstairs alone. Please stop by and donate if you can! Their t-shirts for sale are a major plus!
