"Our homeschool group visited the museum last week and we had a great experience. Our two tour guides were fantastic especially Jan! I would definitely recommend visiting the museum. I learned so much and appreciate the time and effort that has gone into preserving all of this history."
"This little museum is jam packed with native american heritage peices from across North America. I've been to many institutional museums that have less impressive collections. Top notch museum, great informational displays, and sometimes well trained docents giving guides tours make this a must see museum for native american artifacts."
"An amazing experience and walk through the history of North American Indian culture. The guides are knowledgeable and friendly. Low entry cost and definitely worth it. See things from every region and gain a memory you'll never forget. Enjoy the peace and serenity of their medicine trail or one of their seasonal festivals with interactive traditions for all ages. There is one coming up on the weekend of 10/1/21. The passion and heart for the history of this culture is evident from the moment you step foot inside.. Posted by The Whitaker Review"
"I absolutely love this place. A lot of wonderful memories I have are of this place. I highly recommend checking this place out when you visit Warner, New Hampshire. After your visit here you just feel better. Also check out when they have Pow Wow's; Amazing fun and so much native history!"
"The museum is very small but it very well laid out and I was surprised at how many artifacts they have. Our guide did a wonderful job of explaining Native American life throughout North America. I want to go back when the weather is warmer so I can walk the Medicine Woods trail."
