We went to visit last weekend to find the Battle Hill Natural History Museum had closed about 3 months ago (approximately March, 2010). The locals explained that the owner had shut down and sold off all the contents of the museum. :(
Just wanted to update for anyone else that thought this was a crazy awesome place.
