The soda shop is a neat little addition. There's a lot of great old hand tools located on the top floor as well as some old motorcycles. Worth a visit.

Great place. They had a icecream social which added to the value. Best part was the old radio station.

I liked the phone tour, but they were redoing a number of the exhibits, so the first half of the tour was not set up.
