See Andy's sheriff shirt and badge, Goober's beanie (bronzed) -- and a lot of Andy Griffith relics that have nothing to do with Mayberry. He was a Hollywood actor, not a small town sheriff.

It was only $3 dollars to get into the Andy Griffith Museum and also see the display for the original Siamese twins, Chang and Eng. I was disappointed for several reasons. The main one is that you are not allowed to take pictures inside the museum, just in the lobby. Who wants to see Sheriff Taylor's desk, and not be able to take a picture of it? The majority of the museum was just copies of pictures or letters that were signed, which was cool, but honestly, how much of that kind of stuff can you see? There weren't a lot of actual props on display. It was definitely a museum of Andy Griffith, not so much The Andy Griffith Show.
There was practically nothing on Opie or Aunt Bea.
The Siamese exhibit was lackluster as well. It was interesting, but it seemed like there should have been more...
