A wonderful place to learn about the age of water power, production of gun powder and machines in general. Can be lots of walking, although there is a small bus. If it's hot and humid, it can be miserable. The staff is friendly and helpful. Don't miss the exhibit on the first floor of the visitors' center. There is a good gift shop, a little upscale. Follow the signs carefully for the last mile or two: it's easy to miss. Go to the Hagley Museum, NOT the Hagley Library.
