Review:

Located in Cherokee, the Sanford Museum and Planetarium focuses on the fields of astronomy, archeology, art, natural history, and paleontology through a range of informative and educational exhibits, displays, and demonstrations. The museum is home to the Sanford Room, which is designed as a time capsule complete with period furnishings that take visitors back in time to experience the lives of people living in the mid-19th century. The East Gallery boasts several exhibits that explore the history of the area, and a wall of art that features a rotating selection of art every month, and the lower level of the museum details the prehistory of Northwest Iowa with a collection of prehistoric artifacts and fossils on display.
