If you go to the Old Trail town, then you should visit the miniature village just across the road. Entrance is by donation, so price is up to you. Interesting to look at the miniature display and press buttons to move the trains or listen to the commentary. Very interesting stories from the old West
Family own and operated and a must see. Met the owners who have worked most of their lives building the miniatures. A great way to see the history of WY. Also loved the gift shop as most items I was interested in were well priced. Make sure to stop by!
what a collection of Indian memorabilia and display. Especially enjoyed the history of the west by era between white man & Indian.Think kids would really enjoy the miniature displays and trains.
Wonderful private collection of the old west and fascinating historical artifacts.The artists did a wonderful job! Staff was helpful. Some of the souvenirs were not American made.
The Miniature Village and Museum are sold out - literally - they have been moved to California!! When I asked the owner why they still have their advertising out, he just told me that it still gets foot traffic into his store. Our son was heartbroken that we didn't get to see the much touted miniature village, and frankly so were my husband and myself! It is advertised even in Yellowstone, and when we got there, it was "tough luck" for us!
This museum is free. It is the owners lifetime collection of Indian and cowboy artifacts. He also has a miniature diorama. They only ask you if you want to leave a donation of any size. It was a very impressive collection.
This is a nice, family operated museum. The huge area in the midle of the room contains all the miniature figures. All sorts of history is displayed here. There is a brochure they give you so you know what you are looking at with the miniatures. The display cases along the walls show a variety of antiques. There is a HUGE collection of Indian arrowheads. This is a nice place to spend an hour.
Miniature village must have taken years to assemble and create with story telling audios. Wonderful private collection of the old west and fascinating historical artifacts. Very personable owners who took time to provide detailed explanations.
We went thinking the model trains would be running. Instead it is in the middle of construction. Kind of a let down.
the museum was very nice & it was FREE admission just asking for a donation-miniature village sold & no longer there-nice collection of arrowheads
