The museum is stuffed with all kinds of things that local families have donated. Some of it is very unusual, like these slightly creepy hand carved wooden dolls, and memorabilia from the Cole Bros.-Clyde Beatty Circus who had winter quarters in Fulton county until a fire in 1940 destroyed most of their equipment.
The buildings in the living history village are opened for special events. It’s still possible to wander around the grounds at other times.
The museum is partially accessible. A ramp leads to the porch and the entry door but the door is very heavy and the threshold is high. There’s room between most of the exhibits to maneuver a wheelchair but many of the enclosed display cases are high so it’s hard to see things on the upper shelves. The village roads are surfaced with loose gravel. Some of the buildings have ramps. The round barn wasn’t opened when we visited but it seems to be accessible.
The parking lot is large enough for all RVs. Museum
