big horn county historical museum印象

Been twice to this authentic museum. I loved the fact that there are so many outdoor exhibits that give a real 'you were there' feel because you are allowed to touch, to clamber aboard and interact. A real feely feely museum that helps it do want museums should do. Go out of your way to visit you will not be disappointed.

An incredible collection of restored tractors. Nicely restored buildings and a train depot.

This Museum is an amazing place - the new building and indoor exhibits are absolutely beautiful, the outside is a small town and it is so exciting to go around and see inside the houses, the old depot, the gas station - so much to seeThe staff are amazing, so friendly, so knowledgeable - if you want to know ANYthing about the area one of them will be able to tell you stories and detailed information about the history, the people - everythingDon't miss this - it is right next to the highway so it is not even a detour but you should go into town afterwards and visit Fort Custer General Store on Center Avenue, just before the railway crossing - another place full of history that it could take a couple of hours wandering through there too.

We visited this Museum in late August or early September and I was truly impressed.The main building ranks very high in my book.The quality of the building and its contents were first class and nicely displayed.The outside exhibits were many and varied---the farm equipment.The outside buildings looked great , but only had time to go through a couple of them.Want to go back again next year.The people in charge were very personable and helpful.

Both the new building exhibits, plus all the outdoor section with actual historical buildings like the "Fly Inn" Gas Station, the work Camp 4 from the harvesters, a Church, School, Slaughter house and so much more. Old cars, fire engines, farm equipment, old wagons. We thought initially we would have been done in about an hour or so. Truth is we took more than an hour just to tour the inside exhibits, with the large racks full of local photos from the past.On a warm day, I would suggest to come early & do the outside things first, then go back to the museum (which is air conditioned) for the balance of your time. Everything is well documented and detailed with dates & who donated it. The new museum building was completed in 2012 and even the offices and the ladies room contained artifacts like Wedding outfits & photos for the front section of the office & the sink in the ladies room was salvaged from the old hospital. Plus a huge wooden framed mirror over the long two sink basins.AWESOME

Lots of shade, great places for picnics, and rabbits abound for some entertainment. You have the choice of a leisurely stroll through the numerous buildings, or take a guided tour with one of the volunteers. There is a new indoor museum that will be completed by spring, so this review will be amended at that time.Don't pass this by if you get a chance and a little time.

"Gather up everything we can" seems to be the motto of this museum. The indoor exhibits are very dated with no attempt to explain or otherwise make sense of the motley assortment of stuff. The collection of buildings is interesting but, again, no attempt to give context or explain why they're on site other than that they were available to move there.

Even though the day was cloudy, windy and rainy, the guided tour by the 90 y/o WWII vet was wonderful! His explanations of the places and people that he'd known through his life were fascinating. And the "hands-on" nature of the place is nice, too. The new museum building was built a bit far from the "museum" proper, the buildings which have been moved here and set up as a village, a snapshot in time. We stopped almost by accident, and spent almost 3 hours here, visiting with the people and looking around. Wish the weather had been better!

There is an excellent video it is worth hanging around for the next showing. You could easily spend a couple of hours at this site. It is well set out with information boards. The staff are friendly and informative.

Despite the blazing hot day, the ranger talk, movie and interesting historical site made for a terrific 2-hour stop on our way to Yellowstone National Park.
