The museum is small, but perfect for filling 2-3 hours. There's a seasonal nature center, Oak Grove Nature Center, that is operated by the museum and located nearby. It's open from April through October.
The exhibits change regularly and there are often special presentations or classes being offered.

The Main Street 1943 exhibit is pretty neat - it represents what Manchester, CT would have looked like in 1943.
