I was enjoying other attractions on Exeter's Water Street and Swazy Parkway last July. The museum was open to the public as part of the Revolutionary celebration and activities of the day.

We hope to go back there next year when they annually display their original copies of the Declaraton of Indepedence. For somebody... More
