Students can learn about and experience a regional artist, genius, and inventor. The Warther family values education, as their great-grandfather only had a second grade education but understood the value of learning, which kept him reading and developing his knowledge throughout the course of his life to make up for what he lacked formally. Ernest Warther welcomed over 20,000 students each year into the museum. They promote the value of learning through a multitude of examples in history, engineering, mathematics, art, and ingenuity. Students are able to walk through a local, 1920’s style home, see self-sustainable gardening, and a genuine piece of local and regional history. Educators are invited to engage in before, during, and post visit activities with students to enhance the experience. The museum aligns with multiple state standards at every grade level.
