The four buildings that make up the museum complex are connected by a boardwalk. Start at the main museum to pay the small admission fee and view the exhibits on early pioneer life, ranching, mining, and local businesses. Continue on the boardwalk to the small cabin, one room schoolhouse, and train depot that are all open to tour. The train depot has exhibits about the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the 1868 Virginia City Treaty between the United States Government and the Shoshone Tribe plus a collection of mounted birds and a model train layout. 
The main museum and the boardwalk are accessible. The schoolhouse has a short step up. The cabin has a high threshold and the door doesn’t open wide enough for wheelchair access. The sidewalk slants up at the entrance door of the train depot and the door opens outward making entering very difficult. The model train layout is too high to view from a seated position. 
The parking spaces in front of the museum are too short for RVs. Park northeast of the museum on West Bannack Street, North Montana Street, or in the public lot. Museum 45.21734, -112.63812
I thought we'd been there, but (then again) I don't know. We spent a lot of time in Montana and things can blur together after a while! Looks fun!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know what you mean! :-D Seems like these small town museums all have similar collections but I think we still learn something new in each one.
