I love how the town is created on the lower level. The upper level is filled with such interesting artifacts, complete with donation information. The docent is friendly and knowledgable. The museum is supported by donations, so please be generous."

The displays include clothing, uniforms, shops, mining equipment and much more, covering on three floors. Most items have nice descriptions of what is on display. A great place to learn and enjoy history."
