A Visit to Heritage Museums and Gardens

 Today was a beautiful Sunday morning for a tour of the gorgeous sights at Heritage Museums and Gardens. I was anxious to see if the azaleas and rhododendrons were still in bloom, and I was more than pleasantly surprised. Every turn, as I walked along the wooded paths aside the Shawme Lake and then back through the grounds, a new color presented itself.















Heritage museums also has interseting attractions and Seasonal Exhibits. Here are just a sample of what you will find on your visit:
Antique hand carved Carousel in the Art Museum:



Bird Carvings of Elmer and Cleon Crowell are found as a Seasonal  Exhibit in The American History Museum.
