My son is an avid fisherman. When we took him here he was on cloud nine. He was asking the Lyon's questions about everything and really enjoyed his time there. The Lyon's gave us a background of the company and area as well as a family history. The museum is well laid out and the dedication of the Lyon's was clear. These are great people. The person running the local museum spoke very highly of the them and what they have done for the area. The museum has lures, golf clubs, ski museum and some old cars. The Packard is in great shape. They are open on Tuesday nights and one Sunday a month so check out the website. Neat little place.

Housed in the former manufacturing plant for Heddon products, the Heddon Museum is a labor of love for its creators who didn't want this important aspect of local history to disappear when manufacturing moved south many years ago. They bought the plant, converted most of it to other uses but set aside a large area to serve as a showroom for all things Heddon, lures (displayed in cases chronologically from Day 1 to the present), rods, reels and many types of items up to and including fine violin bows in addition to vintage autos and delivery trucks. The rooms are pleasant with good lighting and good signage. The couple who created this private museum did so as a public service to the community and are happy to answer any and all questions. If you are a fisherman and in the area, this museum will be of interest. Regular hours are infrequent but they are happy to do private showings on request.
