Given the limited hours of this museum on the Iowa State University campus, I've never quite got a chance to visit this place until recently. Important lesson that I've learned: thank goodness there is limited hours at this museum. This place gave me the creeps while I was moving through the building taking pictures. Definitely come with a friend, or better yet, come with a group. I can't imagine the poor undergrad that has to sit in this museum on a regular basis. Anyways, the museum itself contains a mind boggling 3 stories worth of rooms filled with various artifacts. The rooms/exhibits on the third floor is especially pressuring/claustrophobic given that it's basically the attic of the "farm house," and there is a very little room to move about. I guess if you're into the whole paranormal investigation stuff, this is not a bad place to check out.

Great cool "little" farmhouse with fun historical stuff. Got a good tour. Definitely recommend if you're wandering around campus.

This was such a neat experience, and the people working were very friendly and knowledgeable. We went to the holiday open house, and it was a great way to kick off the season!
