"Quaint"

This is housed in downtown Santa Barbara in a beautiful old building with a courtyard.  It is not a great place to take young kids, especially kids who can't read or have any appreciation for history.  Wait until your kids are older, then they will be impressed with the old documents that are quite a treasure.

"Fun with the Family"

Houses original manuscripts of great authors, scientists, and leaders from all periods of history, including an original copy of the Declaration of Independence. Rotating exhibits show fascinating glimpses into antiquity.
