We were looking for a day trip destination from Lincoln, NE, and I found this. PERFECT. I called ahead to verify hours...just as they said on the website.
It was easy to find the main building of Mackey Hall. Parking was free.
We are history buffs, and found this Museum to be absolutely wonderful. The information provided was in depth, but not overwhelming. We took a little over 90 minutes to go through all the exhibits, and felt it was very, very well curated and presented. We especially appreciated all of the small artifacts and explanations of what they were and how they were used. The written histories on the walls were chronological and extremely interesting. Even though we knew much of the histories of those periods, we still learned a lot from this.
I would say that even though there is a "Kids" area (they must be supervised) to show what a marketplace is like, the rest of the museum is probably not for small kids. And that's okay. I would say it's geared more towards middle school (if the kid is interested in history) and on up. I would even go back with friends to see it again.
It's definitely a "hidden gem". Thank you, York University.

我们正在寻找从内布拉斯加州林肯出发的一日游目的地,我找到了这个。完美的。我提前打电话确认营业时间...正如他们在网站上所说的那样。
很容易就找到了麦基堂的主楼。停车是免费的。
我们是历史爱好者,发现这个博物馆绝对精彩。所提供的信息很深入,但并不压倒性。我们花了 90 多分钟浏览完所有展品,感觉展览的策划和展示都非常非常好。我们特别欣赏所有的小文物以及它们是什么以及如何使用的解释。墙上写的历史是按时间顺序排列的,非常有趣。尽管我们对那个时期的历史了解很多,但我们仍然从中学到了很多东西。
我想说,尽管有一个“儿童”区域(他们必须受到监督)来展示市场是什么样子,但博物馆的其余部分可能不适合小孩子。没关系。我想说它更适合中学(如果孩子对历史感兴趣)及以上。我什至会和朋友一起回去再看一遍。
这绝对是一颗“隐藏的宝石”。谢谢约克大学。
