A Good time if you take it for what it is - a HISTORICAL Society, focusing on Cleveland / Ohio, and not a 'super fun awesome hip museum.' The artifacts they have are pretty cool, especially the maps. If you're into turn of the century Automobiles, Im guessing this is the best place East of Detroit where you can see those.
They have an 'East vs West' wing that sounds cool- and on the web said they explained why and what types of people moved to the East vs West Sides of Cleveland... But the only thing they really have are maps, no REAL history on the divergent lifestyles. I thought that was kind of lame. There's also a huge wedding dress section, which... grandma might like. The building itself is a historical mansion, and the Garden is beautiful as well.
