This eclectic museum features the historic house, remodeled to its 1902 state, of St Clair Whitman. A main player in both the pencil factory and the local fiber mill, he arrived in the area in 1882 and started collecting everything he saw: insects, butterflies, glass, sea grass, bottles and infinite varieties of seashell. After your visit, enjoy a bucolic walk on the surrounding nature trails.
