This fine little museum is located in Gillette, the "capital" of the Coal Belt in Wyoming and a major stopping point on the Burlington Northern Railroad. In keeping with its location, the museum features exhibits on early railroading and open pit coal mining (the largest open pit coal mine in America can be found just north of Gillette). There are also excellent collections of early printing equipment, saddles, household items and clothing from pioneer days, guns going back to the Great Sioux War, and numerous Indian artifacts and arrowheads. Don't miss the magnificent 1890's horse-drawn hearse and the Burlington caboose! |
