Really cool museum to learn about old technologies used in the wild west. Some very interesting old mining and farming equipment as well as some really cool replica buildings.
So much to see, the history and local artifacts are so interesting. Take your time and enjoy the variety.
Lots and lots of old mining equipment and prewar items. For a donation only place I really ejoyed myself and dropped $30 bucks in the donation slot.
Was just going to do a cursory pass-through... ended up spending nearly THREE hours at the fascinating frontier displays of early pioneer life. Super cool, I especially liked the press/newspaper cabin with the antique presses, type blocks and plates. Also fascinating were the doctor's office, school room, dress-maker's, farm and manufacturing equipment, transportation, general store and massive rifle/gun display. Can't wait to go back and check it out further someday
Wonderful spot if you like old machinery and descriptions of what it was like for the people brave enough to venture out and settle in that area over the years. Easy to walk to from town.
