The museum opened in 1964.
Known as "America's Attic" the museum offers three floors of exhibitions
that explore the rich diversity of American history. Among the wealth of
Americana are the flag that inspired The Star-Spangled Banner, the flag
that flew over the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, the very
popular first ladies' inaugural gowns, and includes quilts, cars and locomotives. In
addition one will find the ruby slippers from “The Wizard of Oz”, Charlie
McCarthy, Howdy Doody, Archie Bunker’s chair, Carol Burnett's maid costume,
and many other artifacts of interest.
