Pioneer snowshoes for humans and horses, mining implements, antique clothing and furniture, and a working print shop are housed in the main building. Outdoor mining displays, a miner's cabin, blacksmith shop, general store, and a replica of an old schoolhouse are all of interest.

Admission to the Museum is always free. The Musuem is open from 12:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. every weekend from Memorial Day in May Through Labor Day in September. Donations are gladly accepted.
