Very charming collections full of history, & I found a wonderful souvenir, a uniquely beautiful 15 oz. coffee mug featuring a moose—& the handle is fashioned after a moose antler! It is stunning! Service is very friendly & helpful; we’ll definitely be back!

This is a nice collection of weird things. If you have the time to read all of the signage, it is well worth the history you will learn about.

This is a great store and museum. It has a great John Wayne collection. Lots of old items that interest both kids and adults. The man running the museum is very friendly and great to talk to. The clothing sold is great quality. I was here in July 2018 and June 2019 and will return.…

We meandered in here on a day in Virginia City and what we found, ended up being our favorite location in the town. Upstairs is a large collection of historical items; some of them run of the mill (weapons, clothing, tools, implements, etc) others not so. In the back corner, on the wall you will find 3 mourning hair displays. In the victorian days, when loved ones passed away, it was not uncommon to make art or jewelry out of their hair. In this museum there are 3 such displays of hair, one includes an intricate bird that has been made out of a dearly departed's lock. Downstairs you will find a lot of taxidermy, some that has been dressed and staged in various interesting poses and situations as well as a baby lamb with extra legs. This museum is free and jam packed with something for everyone. Also it is funded strictly by public donations and support so it's worth a purchase of a gift or two and/or a drop in the change bucket up front. Highly recommended.…

We were going into all the buildings on Wallace Street and seeing what we could find. This place is more museum than gift shop. But they do have things you can buy for souvenirs and the usual candy and goodies you enjoy when on vacation. There is a lot more museum to see downstairs than upstairs and it was all interesting to go through. Clothes, oddities, medicines, they had it all and more. If you love Old West history and going through museums, you will get a kick out of touring this place.…
