Great place for kids too see history with plenty of room to move and roam! The musuem includes a traditional musuem with exhibit space and gift shop but the best part is the relocated homes and buildings located around the expansive property including an old train depot, trains, motor home, wedding chapel, Indian huts and even a mini ghost town. We had 5 kids ages 4-8 and they all had fun exploring especially because they could move. The musuem also has a cool guide that challenges kids to find numerous objects to keep them engaged. There's also a nature trail but we didn't do this time. Plan at least 90 minutes to 2 hrs. We packed a lunch and then headed to a park just across boulder hwy. Admission is VERY reasonable just $2 for adults and $1 for kids.
