Museums

This renovated 1872 Romanesque-style structure houses historical artifacts from the surrounding area.

The building itself is an amazing treasure and would be worth a visit on its own--check out the barrel-vaulted brick ceiling, the detailwork on the columns, &c, the flooring, and the marble work on the fireplaces.
