This museum is small--it takes about an hour or so to go through the whole thing. The gold-panning I've read about was closed (this was before Memorial Day). There are some interesting items in the displays. The stagecoach, Cadillac, and Pres. Arthur's bedroom set were pretty cool. From the start the lady at the front counter was not very friendly....

It is interesting. My kids (age 3-10) loved climbing on the carriages and seeing the player pianos. There is a lot to look at if you want. It is like a small western town street inside a building with a lot of antiques and items of interest inside each shop (like the saloon). There are some great photo opportunities. We... More

This little museum had a wealth of history that will amaze you if you are a regional history buff! From the player pianos, stage coaches, and Chester Arthurs Bedroom set, to all the early trinkets, and gadgets you would find in the old wild west, this was a great little place to visit. Worth the price of admission. Look carefully... More

This is the place to be. We don't have little ones anymore (this would be a great place to bring them) so as adults we've visited because of the store fronts and the authentic settings in each store. Worth traveling a across town on the way up or back from Woodland Park. More

You can pretty much see everything you need to see from the street side. If you are really desperate to find a quick outting then this will suffice. I would suggest you drive by and save your time and money. More

I took my children to the Ghost Town Museum in August on a day that was too hot to be outside, and we spent a lovely day looking around in all of the rooms and carriages, panning for gold, and looking at antiques. This is one of those quiet tourist attractions that doesn't boast any rides or 3D movies or... More
