    Seriously. I scrolled randomly through a list, stopped and saw “Bangor Police Museum”. I don’t think you really need a museum for the police force of some random-ass city that didn’t even exist 200 years ago

      It’s nice someone keeps track of their history though. Not saying it’d likely consider it a museum though.

        Oh yeah archiving is very important. Here we have local archives for basically everything relevant they can put their hands on. For a funny contrast with my example above, my hometown is more than 1000 years old and only has a museum dedicated to the few famous painters that lived there for a while.

        Now that I think about it it’s very much possible that the oldest parts of my parents’ house are older than the city of Bangor
