What a treat!By chance we discovered this really worth seeing museum in Lander. With a lot of love and dedication, authentic buildings out of this area have been brought together, preserved and are presented in a just wonderful garden landscape. Our passionate guide Barb (a volunteer) was the cherry on the cake on this sunny autumn afternoon. It´s a must see for all ages.
A must see! Our kids (ages from 4-18) loved every minute of it and learned a lot. Well worth the time to stop and check out the inside of every building. Kids loved seeing the old schoolhouse. Can be safely done with masks as most of it is outside walking short distances from little building to building. Don’t miss the walk to the teepees across the stream and bridges. Beautiful place to visit.
Really friendly volunteer staff it was great to check out all of the buildings and its a good stop in lander.
Great place to learn western history of the Pioneers, Native Americans and all settlers that passed thru or stayed. The tour guides are very informative.
Very intersting museum of settlers dwellings during the mid to late 1800s. Well manicured and presented.
I loved this place. The lady volunteer in the office was so informative.
Had a wedding to go to and it was absolutely amazing
Very authentic and historical. A great representation of days of the pioneers that settled the old west. A gem for Lander and largely manned by volunteers.We were also able to attend the free performance of the native American dancers. It was very inspiring to witness this cultural performance. It was narrated and each was explained as it pertained to the particular dance. The audience wannabes dancers were encouraged to participate in a dance contest and several prizes were awarded. The final social dance was interactive and engaging. I highly recommend this site!
Its very nice museum. Has lots of old buildings from the old west days. A nice Pavillion, a livery stable you can rent out for weddings, anniversary parties etc. Huge inside. Clean immaculate restrooms. Make it a point to stop in and see the place.
Much bigger than I expected and well done. A nice compilation of artifacts.
I participated in a wedding here, and the location is very Lander-esque. The property was easy to navigate, and the venue allowed decorations and full access on the day-of the wedding for a DIY event. My reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because there were many little buildings and houses on the property, but the venue did not offer one to the bride to get ready in. She had to pull up in a vehicle and hide before the service. If you are thinking of having a wedding here, I would negotiate this aspect.
Man oh man what a wonderful historical place to visit. Free to walk around and check out. Authentic, period correct buildings and interior setups. Info panels that turn on when you enter a building. Clean and very tidy property. Fantastic place to stop at. If you drive by without stopping youre missing out on a piece of American history.
Like the old Wild West. They have Pioneer school for the kids in the summer, so they can see how we lived.
Wonderful to see stuff from our Countrys past.
Rustic and Western. A great place!
The museum has several outside structures that are authentic. They where transported to the area so that people could enjoy them. When the main part of the museum is open it has a huge exhibit to walk through. I frequent the outside portion as a photographer, many of my clients enjoy the old western background.
The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable!
Free entry. Just go around and relax. We met good tourists who were so communicative
Very great history. Loved it
Awesome museum A MUST see!
What a beautiful layout. Incredible buildings and old authentic structures. Free to visit. Make time to visit this historical place.
Great displays and the special events they host are awesome! A must see!!!
Everythings quite hands on here. They regularly refurbish and repaint the buildings. Basically your model Wild West town, minus the bank and the jail. The livery stable is also an event center.
Awsome place for kids and adults. The museum is high quality. And the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful
Full of Beauty and history
Very good displays and art work worth the stop
