I know I know... a museum about Walmart? But trust us, this is worth your time to see how one man's dream to bring lower prices to masses grew into the gigantic corporation it is now. Lots of fun touches here and worth the admission (which is Free!)
Make sure you spend a little time in the restored "Five & Dime" storefront to get a feel for "Mr. Sam's" first store on the square.
