Went there at 10 in the morning thinking I would be there until about noon. They had to kick me out at 4:30 because they were closing. Incredible place!
There was a lot of interesting stuff, but the entire place had a used up feeling, too, as if the batteries of the cosmos had run down in this place.
This is a museum of history and Americana that has huge collections of things from fine pottery to women's dresses to oodles of farm tractors and implements. Takes a full day plus. Very good history and documentation on most exhibits. NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE COME HERE AND IT FEELS LIKE IT IS IN TROUBLE!!!
Have been there when growing up with my parents and loved it. I took my kids on the way to Colorado on vacation. They loved It. Said it was one of the best parts of the trip. Yes it's old and showing its age, but you'll never find anything else like it anywhere.
My wife and I hadn't gone through the museum in probably 25 years, so it was fun to go through it again. Some of the buildings are getting run down and need some work, but it was still fun looking at the old airplanes and cars. Many of the things we remembered seeing there as kids--much more than 25 years ago!
An interesting museum with a Twilight Zone feel. The best comparison I can come up with is the Twilight Zone, Elegy, where the astronauts land on the cemetary planet.
