A little know museum close to Wright Park. The manuscripts change on a regular basis and usually have some type of theme. The best part is that it's free.

To be quite honest this is the most bizare museum I have ever visited.I have never heard of a museum whereas the curator said upon entrance that he would loose his job if he looked at manuscripts brought in by a patron owned by the patron due to the possibility of being sued? I can't seems to locate any case history that states anything along the lines of a museum being sued because they simply looked at something that someone owned? Although I must confess in all fairness that the museum did provide a wonderful learning experience for me in being exposed to the most extreme case of poppycock I have ever experienced.I loved the mission statement that the founder has on the Web site as it is very suggestive of education and the importance of historical preservation.The mission statement is what drew me to waste my time stopping by.Very disappointing that such a beautiful building does not stand for what it says it does,They should do the public a service and remove the Eagles from atop that building and donate them to an active American Legion hall.Just saying.

It's free and tucked away in Tacoma that you might miss this place but it is well worth the visit, especially if you are nearby. The museum curator is friendly, courteous, very welcoming and passionate about his craft. He will make you feel at home and is generous in explaining the history of the museum. He is a wealth of knowledge about the exhibits they are displaying and the history of the museum. What makes this place even better is that they rotate show exhibits so you constantly are getting different manuscripts to view. On this occasion it was Russian history and we got to observe many Russian manuscripts that are not in print. A fascinating way to spend about 1-3 hours. the fact that this museum is free is just another splendid reason to visit.

Not many people are aware of this place. It doesn't pander at all but every time I stop in I'm impressed by amazing things.
