Nice little museum - too bad it is tucked away on the campus with littel nearby parking. However, well worth the side trip.

I learned so much about this Renaissance man whose scientific curiosity & discoveries doesn't get enough credit. If only he had gotten patents on a few of them.... Museum, run by the National Park Service, has good displays.
