This place is awful. They put speakers on the building and they blast the residential neighborhood all around them with loud, obnoxious noises. They blasted my house 13 times a day for many years. It caused me the loss of a lot of sleep and it ruined my quiet neighborhood. The local officials refuse to enforce their own noise ordinance. I will have to take legal action. I recommend you avoid Blackwell entirely. I have lived near this museum for over 2 decades. It was very peaceful until they ruined my neighborhood with those annoying bells. They have no respect for my property rights and have ruined my house.
