"This is a fun place to visit if you're into mining or old west history. Lots of historical items, not busy, variety of things to check out, restrooms, little museum, easy to get to. Nice break to the drive."

"Super cool and historic site. We booked through HipCamp for a tent spot. Chris was great and was full of historical knowledge of the displayed equipment and area. Will definitely be coming back to Goff's Schoolhouse."

"There is a lot to see here and it will take time to see it all. We spent about 2 hours looking around. If you like mining equipment and history in general this is for you. It's off the I-40 not too far and we'll worth your time."

"A fantastic place to learn about the history of the area. It is an old mining and railroad town. A historic walk of military and more. Feel like you've stepped back in time. Right next to the historic Route 66 (which used to partially run into this place.) Look, shop, learn about your history. Something for everyone"

"Incredible display you should definitely see. If you like antiques and old Americana, this is the place for you. Stop in the school house and say hi. This is a must stop alone Route 66. Highly recommend! Bring your camera and sunscreen. You’ll be here awhile."
