We rented the Tower Heritage Center for my daughter’s bridal shower. It was the perfect place to host the event. Steve was so accommodating and helpful. He went above and beyond to make our day memorable! The venue is gorgeous which made decorating a breeze. Many of our guests had never been to the space and were thoroughly impressed with its beauty and history. I highly recommend checking it out if you need a space for a social gathering.

Wonderful gem of a museum! We visited for the first time and were surprised by how much there was to see and do. They have "touch me" stations in each exhibit for kids. Don't miss the jail tour or the doll house scavenger hunts!

This is a local treasure of information and architectural beauty. Everyone should stop in to walk the lovely grounds, visit the outdoor memorials, and tour the Washington County Jail and Museum. The center also has a beautiful courthouse that can be rented for weddings and celebrations and an amazing dollhouse and native american interactive area where kids can touch and see things to make their experience more real. I am a fan of the previous executive director, but I am not certain of the new director's approachability or devotion to the organization. Time will tell. Go check it out for yourself, and don't miss the Memorial Day and Veteran's Day celebrations--they are heart-warming and wonderful to witness.
