farmington museum印象

I was told I was going to the visitor center. Come to find out it was a free self tour museum. It had pics of turn of the century here in Farmington. The friend I was with, her Uncle's homestead was in one of the pics in the museum. Now how cool is that.

We were pleasantly surprised when we stopped into this Museum. They had a wonderful Indian rug exhibit and a very informative historical exhibit on trading posts in the area, including recordings of old-timers involved in them. Well done.
-
It is a beautiful facility. They had a baseball exhibit and Indian tapestries when we were there. And it backs up to the river, so the "backyard" area is worth a visit. And you can get lots of maps and brochures while you are there.

This museum has something to offer all ages. I've been taking my grand-daughter there for 4 years.old; sometimes twice a month. The many display are fresh and continue to intrigue her.

We were on a camping trip and looking for a place to beat the heat so we wandered into this lovely museum. They have an extensive display of Indian blankets. I especially liked the display on the old Trading Posts. I really felt like I learned alot about the history of the area. They also had a very nice juried art exhibit and evan a T-Rex! The gardens by the river are beautiful. A nice unexpected surprise!

I had some time to kill, so I visited this museum for about an hour or so. The building is well maintained--and nice and cool, which was a nice relief in the August heat. There were some interesting exhibits (beautiful Navajo rugs, a Connie Mack baseball area, dinosaurs, etc.--but the museum is a bit sparse at this time. I was disappointed that photography was prohibited throughout the museum.

Farmington's fairly new museum is well done, and is by the river, and is host to non-museum events, such as a chili cook off. The building is modern and comfortable. There is a scientific and historical display about local gas and oil production, a large collection of Navajo rugs, and a reproduction of an old time general store with a Model T or A Ford that is in pristine condition. It's a great educational stop (my school did a visit for students to write reports) and also a fun break from the heat for a summer time visit.

It's free, so that's good. But, much of the focus of the museum is like a walk-through commercial for the oil and natural gas industry.

The museum is at the Gateway Visitor Center & is very good, especially if you have any interest in the oil industry. I lost my husband for about an hour! I loved the domestic history which was portrayed as well. The gardens out the back going down to the river were very attractive as well.I wasn't expecting much from Farmington on our trip, but it turned out to be a very interesting & prosperous place. We loved the river walk.

A nice museum that gives you an understanding of history, economics, culture and land. Don't let the size mislead you it is quality. Special note - they change the "featured" exhibit from te to time so don't think if you have been once you have seen it all.
