mansfield memorial museum

This little museum is in a historic Soldiers and Sailors home. There is some really cool stuff such as a early robot that was in some movies. Really neat technology, civil war stuff and some very unique taxidermy items. Keep your eyes out for the purported ghosts.

Small, quirky, and only open during the summer, but still well worth a visit in my opinion. This little museum is home to Elektro - one of the very first robots built in the 1930s for display at the World's Fair. The museum also has other interesting displays such as a retro clothes dryer that plays "How Dry I Am", and one of the first microwave ovens. As a bonus, the curator of the museum, Scott, is generally there to answer questions, show you around, and talk about the finding and restoration of Elektro. If you're ever in the Mansfield area, I'd recommend a visit - but be sure to call first and make sure they're open!
