The museums are equally illustrative and accessible<\/strong>, offering up close and personal looks at the slate that tops everything from mansions to barns throughout the county and beyond. The Pember Library and Museum in Granville actually combines history and nature with guided tours, hikes and day camps, delighting young and old.<\/p>\n
