Excellent outside area with historical artifacts on display centered around mining, ranching, agriculture, and narrow guage rail-road logging activities. Inside there are further displays and a staffed reference library. Check their webpage ahead of time for hours. If you are doing research, bring cash as copies of materials will cost you on a per-page basis. Especially for local rail-road history, this place has a better collection of information than the public library.

Excellent museum. Many interesting displays of the history of the county. Excellent docent too. Well worth the visit.
