overview : small museum where families can get a better understanding of the history and culture of the native Indians. In addition to the museum building with its permanent exhibit, As We Tell Our Stories: Living Traditions and the Algonkian Peoples of Indian New England, there is a re-creation of a 17th Century Algonkian village, complete with longhouse and other structures. As befits its former name (American Indian Archaeological Institute), the museum has artifacts dating back 10,000 years and an outdoor simulated archaeological site.
