If you have time to check out the
museum, be sure and talk to Maria Jackson, who has worked
for the State Museum 3
years. She will give you a wonderful tour and tell you all about the
buildings there...like the Harriet Carnes playhouse which is completely furnished
with
child size furnishings built by her father, State Rep. Grover C. Carnes in
the 1930's.
