Woodman Institute Museum
182- 190 Central Ave.
Dover, NH 03801
603-742-1038
When it opened in 1916, it became a local sensation -- a world-class little museum in Dover. -- with a then-hefty endowment of $100,000 from deceased benefactor Annie Woodman. Today it remains virtually unchanged, called a "museum within a museum"  by those who find its nearly century-old collections of minerals, Indian  artifacts, war memorabilia, stuffed animals and curiosities as intiguing as they are funky.  Chief among its important legitimate assets is an entire intact garrison house from 1675, it alone making a visit to the museum worthwhile. But while you're there, you'll probably also want to see the last puma killed in New Hampshire and marvel at various two-headed creatures and taxidermied birds from many years gone by.
