Unless there is a special event at the museum, I would say that there is plenty of room in the parking lot to park a 30 foot motor home in two spaces. I believe the staff would try to accommodate you. Just give them a call. If not, the museum is adjacent to a sports facility with lots of parking.
When I was small I used to go to a museum in Columbus ga. I'm not sure which one but I rrmember an old wooden ship that eas inside. It seems like it was near where the fair was held in the seventys. Anyway near there was the ruins of a large stone building that we played in. Seems like it resembled leftovers of a coliseum like structure. I've always wondered what it was and I can't find anything on the internet.

Think this might be the one. But whatever it is a great half day out.
