TL, I was there a few years ago.  If your gonna be in the area it's definately worth stopping by. Lots of really cool archery history there.  Alot of what was once in the original museum is there.

I went to the Bear museum when it was still in Grayling Mich. back 1977. It was the most impressive thing I ever saw up to that point. I don't know what the new one would be like.

I visited the Fred Bear Museum twice in Gainsville, FL. Wish it was till open, many things to see there. I'm not sure about the new places and what is displayed, but, if they are anything like Gainsville it's absolutely worth a look.....IJ

Amazing when in Gainsville! I just missed meeting Mr. Bear when I was there many years ago. I haven't been to Springfield site. Definitely worth it. Only better archery museum is P&Y in Chatfield MN.

I was lucky enough to visit the Grayling museum 3 times 74 76 77  Fred was their twice it was awsome experence, I would think it would be hard to duplicate the original museum, but thats my opinion,
