Review & FAQ:

The Museum of the Mountain West contains a treasure-trove of historical artifacts relating to the history of the west, and is the result of Richard E. Fike’s life-long obsession with collecting historic western memorabilia. The museum encompasses a series of true-to-life reconstructions of the everyday shops and stores of a vintage town dating back to the 1800’s and exhibits include medical practices, cash-stores, a saloon, hotel, school, residence and even a railroad depot. Each of the individual displays features interesting vintage items including medical tools and implements, musical instruments, antique furniture and many other treasures.
