A neat historical museum [Historic Washington House] with an ice cream parlor inside. I expected to spend about 20 minutes, but stayed for nearly two hours. It seems to focus on artifacts collected from the first half of the 20th century. There's even a fully functioning ballroom, from the Big Band era, on the top floor.
