    Small but pretty neat. Free to see but donations are appreciated. Cool place to learn about the history of the area. Mammoth bones are inside as well. Would recommend this place.

    Awesome place, must stop here before going to Badwater basin in Death Valley. History of Mammoth fossil inside and geological rock dating exhibition outside are a real must for parents with young kids to see. This over 60’s kid stayed a lot longer than expected, and the diner next door is really nice. Lovely place to go and see. Well done to the locals for making it interesting in the middle of no where, where a blink of your eyes you could be through and missed it. Tops Las Vegas by several generations!!
