I stopped in at the Museum about 2 weeks ago and it is really worth seeing, it's a good layout, well organized with good information. My tour was like a whirlwind as I only had about 3 hours to spend there which was not enough time. I will, at some point, go back for a  better look. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in tools. They have several bins of duplicate tools which are for sale for $1 and up.   I managed to find a few Walden speed wrenches and a few other treasures that I didn't have all for good prices. A fellow named Tom was looking after things they day I was there and he's an interesting guy who several years back sailed from the mainland US up to Alaska via whats refered to as the inside passage off the coast of British Columbia. This can be a very rough and dangerous piece of water and you really need to know what your doing to tackle it. My hats off to him.
