The rotating exhibits cover a range of topics, from artwork from local painters, to photographs and artifacts on the Netsheds in the area. Never heard of a Netshed? Well, these are those over-water houses that were built along the docks for the local fishermen!
Pretty cool!
Don't forget to step outside to check out the Shenandoah in all it's 65ft glory! This fishing vessel is being restored by the museum, and it's a great sight for the kids!
