Featured here is a walk-through simulated coal mine in the downstairs portion of the museum along with associated mining tools and photographs. Upstairs exhibits include: a fully restored 1890s Yellowstone National Park touring coach; the Greenough Collection of cowboy and rodeo memorabilia, including many of the items used by the renowned “Riding Greenough’s” as they performed throughout the world; an early 19th century trade tent and a display of authentic costumes and items from the fur-trade era; and a display of the Waples Family collection of more than 80 historic guns and accessories.
