Important Shipping Information
Our Museum is staffed by Volunteers and our hours of operations currently are such that our Volunteer staff members are only able to check for Online Orders once per week. Typically on either Tuesday or Thursday.
This means that online orders may not be shipped for up to 10 days after your order is placed. PLEASE give our Volunteer staff the time to process your order and ship it out to you. We will do our best to ship all orders as quickly as possible. Before you ask PayPal for a refund due to non-shipment, please send us an e-mail first to ask about your order's status.
Thank You!
