    Interesting little park with lots of history and nature trail which I did not get to do on my first visit. Museum on site was closed when I arrived but enjoyed just taking pictures and reading the information. They have benches around the monument and picnic tables st the start of the trail. Great little spot for lunch or for sunset to see it light up (which I did not stay for this time around).

    Very nice place with a lot of history. It is located on the first street in the world that had street lights with light bulbs. The museum is small but has original phonographs and music from over 100yrs ago. The staff is great and there is a small gift shop that has awesome gifts.

    This is like a little hidden gem in the area. The light tower is relatively spectacular considering there's really nothing else like it just posted in the middle of other suburban towns. The trail behind the tower, though small, is just as good as any other trails. It leads to a small pond as well which is full of wildlife. A lot of birds, turtles, frogs and fish hang out there. It is close to the local roads, so you don't get the full effect of being immersed in nature, but if you want a small & quick getaway to be surrounded by trees you can go here and get that type of experience and it doesn't have to be a major time investment. I love this spot.

    Visit this museum when Chuck the tour guide is working on Saturdays. Out of all the tours I've visited, this was by far the most engaging and interesting ever. I knew little about this person but what they had was brilliant.

    Wow!! What an informative visit! While the overall space was much smaller than we anticipated, the tour guides filled us with a large amount of information. Cute gift shop as well!! Well worth the stop.

    Too many high income immigrants can't vote, let the township tax without representation resulting in this typical extremely inefficient places eating up taxes.

😠 Honestly this place is a massive ripoff, if your older then 5 years old, then don’t even waste your time + money. Happy we bought these tickets “on sale” if I knew it was like that I wouldn’t have paid more then $10. Also we spent more time walking around the mall trying to find it compared to how l...
