Closed for major holidays including

a Cafe or Retail Store , We are ADA accessible,
Please bring your own wheel chair. We allow Service Dogs that are trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a
disability. A service animal
is not a pet. To determine the difference
between a service animal and a pet, we will ask if the animal is a service animal required because of a disabiliy and what work or tasks the animal has
been trained to perform. If the Visitor refuses to answer these 2 questions, then it is assumed that the animal is not
a service animal
and the animal will be refused admittance.

The Lee Family Arch
The Lee Family Arch welcomes
our visitors with a fascinating archway of sea shells, gems, beads, crystals, stones, pearls, marbles, Mom
and Dad's watches, stick pins, earrings, Lee Company lapel pins, tie tacks, and even a minnow. These are actual family momentos and other items that represent the rest of the generous,
creative, and supportive family members and friends of Museum Founder
and Curator, Marietta Lee; such as her parents, Leighton and Marietta Lee; her five brothers; Aunt Bev; Cousin
Newy; Grandmother and Grandfather Fagan and Aunt Mary who encouraged her to paint. This arch was created to honor them and all of the ongoing hard work of the Lee and Fagan Families
that made this Museum possible.
