First you’ll want to stop by the Daisy Air Gun Museum at the corner of Walnut and 2nd Streets. There is an extensive display of air guns from around the world as well as all the Daisy models.

The Rogers Historical Museum is stone’s throw from the bookstore. They have 2-3 new exhibits up at any given time. The store front and the Attic are staples.
