  • Very cute little museum that covers the history I both Yellowstone and the town of West Yellowstone. Has bears, guns, bison, coaches, and plenty of old memorabilia. The movie didn't hold my 5 year olds attention, but the simple toy collection did!
  • A nice little museum with lots of history on the Yellowstone area. Many displays and information boards about the history of tourism to Yellowstone and the UP that brought many visitors to town. Several videos to see about the geological history of Yellowstone and forest fires that have occurred. A nice little museum and a great thing to do on a rainy day.
