    A Hidden Treasure! This Lehigh Valley museum has a plethora of Lehigh history and artifacts. You've got to see the '54 Bently!

    Incredible museum lots of great stuff to see. Like the Lincoln exhibit and the other exhibits too. All with valuable information of American History and history of the area. Would definitely recommend this place if you like history.

    My family and I went to the museum today mainly to tour Trout hall as I am intrigued by old architecture and design, however Trout hall was closed due to ventilation being down and painting going on I was hesitant to continue as I really wanted to go on the tour of the home. The director informed us he wasn't sure when the home would reopen and accommodated us with free admission to the museum. He was so generous and eager to teach my children of Dr Martin Luther king and gave them a book to read he followed us in to the first room and educated us further he was really amazing just an amazing soul that I absolutely wish more people would be like that man is filled with love and light!!

    I know they have great displays and wonderful items but the ad online is deceptive - Make the statement clearer regarding what is a special presentation and what is your regular collection. Drove over only to find their was no separate talk about the topic listed.

    There is not enough founding given to this site. Perhaps to upgrade with mixed tourists attractions for its location and strategic locations value

    The front desk woman was an absolute angel all day for us. This place really showed us kindness when they didn’t have too! Thank you again!

    I had the pleasure of visiting the museum this week. Jill and Joe were so enthusiastic about sharing their vast knowledge with me. My experience was personable and pleasurable. Covid plans are in place for today's visitors as well. There's no doubt I will visit again many times and as new exhibits come and go! I'd recommend this place! Go, explore and learn about what built our communitues!

    We couldn't find parking to go to the coin show. Limted parking in the back and side lots. No available on street parking. Why would you even have a coin show there? Very disappointed!

    Very helpful staff and very well organized museum. I will be returning to conduct more research. Thank you to the entire staff.

    Small, but detailed and very interesting. Not a place you could visit often however - their exhibits don't really change all that much

    I would definitely recommend this museum as a must-see if you are a history buff and are visiting the Lehigh Valley area. I was highly impressed with the range and quality of the fascinating exhibits on display, which included a great deal of informative and interesting (unbiased) historical information not just about LeHigh Valley's diverse past, but also about particular aspects of US history in general (for example, the Abraham Lincoln exhibition). The museum is well set out and I happily spent several hours exploring the exhibits. Last, but certainly not least, the staff was extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. This Australian tourist will be sure to visit again when next in Lehigh Valley!

    Great place to know more about local history. Very nice and friendly staffs, a lot to learn from them. Especially thank you for the kind and wise words regarding the Hong Kong situation. We will keep our faith.

    I thought they left out the MOST IMPORTANT part of History. The fact that the Democrats Founded the KKK. And We had KKK members in Congress until 2010. Robert Byrd and Biden gave his eulogy
