Our History

The Museum has a rich history dating back to the Roaring 20s, when it was known as Libby's Tea Room. This iconic spot was famous for its lobster dinners, and it even hosted Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932. Today, the museum still boasts an impressive collection of Americana, including antique cars, historic outbuildings, and a century-old baby grand player piano. These unique features make our venue a treasure trove for photographers and event-goers alike.
