“It's a tiny corner in the huge bank building but it's nice!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

The Stage Coach does it all for me (a 1-1 replica)---it's TechLevel Six (Age of Reason 1700-1850). It has a six horse power motor (six horses), hand power mono breaks, leather suspension, leather seats, fine wood dashboard and doors, BYOB and cards Beef Jerky and crackers plus some brackish water will be served as our in flight snack.

“If it wasn't free, it wouldn't be worth it”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2008

There is only one room with very little to see-- only a few articles on bandits, some old memorabilia, and other artifacts. Not your usual museum, and you can see the whole thing in about 10 minutes. Probably more interesting for history buffs, not children.
