Argyle museum
The Argyle Museum is a must-see when in Baldur. It began with multiple pieces of medical equipment donated from the practice of Dr. G. E. Hanks which he used throughout his long career. In addition to the medical showcase, there is a WWl and WWll display, and an Icelandic exhibit (a new edition to the museum). The Icelandic exhibit features a hand-painted mural and many other interesting artifacts. Other historic displays can be found throughout the Argyle Museum.
