Come take a tour with our knowledgeable and native museum staff for an enriching educational experience.

We had an educational and inspirational visit to the Tomaquag Museum today. We had a friend visiting from Germany and she is very interested in Native American culture and history. We heard about this museum and decided to make the drive to see it. The drive was beautiful (another story) and we were greeted by staff that were indigenous people. Our guide, Lindsey, was articulate, enthusiastic and informative. She led us from one exhibit to another explaining them with a focus on civil rights and justice. We learned many things about indigenous people and her tribe. The museum is small and loaded with interesting exhibits. The best part was the commitment and excitement of the staff. I highly recommend the visit.

Went to a birthday party at Center and it was wonderful. The person who did the tour/demo for the kids was fantastic and took his time to explain about the fish and turtles over and over again, the kids were 7! Would highly recommend it as there is plenty to see and plenty to do.

Fantastic Umbrella Factory

Converted barns which now house shops of local craftspeople.

Reviewed By kmkaye

Visiting the Fantastic Umbrella Factory is more than a shopping experience. It is like stepping back in time when life was basic, unhurried and more in tune with nature than nowadays. The property is lush with trees, flowers, a pond, scattered sitting areas to watch roaming chickens and a pen with emu. Many of the items on sale are reminiscent of the 60’s such as tied dyed shirts, incense sticks, and candies no longer sold in department stores today. The shops range from a general store with inexpensive novelties to a shop with items from local artisans. While in one of the shops today I purchased a pair of reasonably priced summer pantaloons (I have seen similar ones for double the price in other shops in my town). Although there was a small restaurant on the premises, I saved visiting it for another time when I will bring friends with me. I would highly recommend the Umbrella Factory for a totally relaxed strolling, shopping experience.
