We actually really enjoyed the exhibits at the Museum! World Expo 74, Driving the American Dream & the Tribal Issues exhibit were self led & pretty cool! Honestly $12 entry fee wasn’t too bad at all… Full review by BridgetM4

This is one of the worst museums I have ever visited. My out-of-state small rural town museum has more information than this one. There were basically two exhibits in the main building, one on the 19… Full review by Kay J

The museum contains some Native American items and art. But they also at times offer special exhibits. If you go, be sure the complete museum is open and not being prepped for a special exhibit as it was during our visit. It is a small museum, and I felt we got ripped off because half of it was closed as they were readying for the Ansel Adams exhibit opening the next day. This fact was not mentioned when we purchased our tickets. We would have waited until the next day to visit. And, no signs were posted concerning the special exhibit situation.

This depends highly on what you appreciate and what you expect. True - it is not the Smithsonian. But the artifacts and local history are a gem of a find. This museum also host touring exhibitions and had a Titanic exhibit that was world class - even better than the Titanic shipyard in Belfast, Ireland. Don’t discount this for what it is not. Realize the exceptional exhibits for what they represent and the history they bring close enough to touch.

Hi, Sharher. What would you like to know about this attraction? I'm wondering if it is really advisable to purchase "timed" tickets? I am considering the "Davenport Titanic Package" but the tickets it includes are not "timed". Should I be concerned about long lines?
A:
We experienced no lines on a weekday. It’s not a large facility and the exhibit has been there for awhile. I think your only concern would be large school (elementary) tours. Don’t …

We experienced no lines on a weekday. It’s not a large facility and the exhibit has been there for awhile. I think your only concern would be large school (elementary) tours. Don’t forget to tour the historic home. It was more fun than the titanic exhibit for our family.
