Wow!! what a museum. This museum is in an 1858 national historic landmark pioneer hotel that was headquarters for the pony express. The building served as the provost marshal's office for the Union during the Civil war. The museum shows the development of the American West and is listed as one of America’s top ten Western Museums in the True West Magazine. We spent 3 hours there and could have taken a lot more time. Cost: seniors $4
The Remington Nature Center is a great little nature center. Upon entering the first exhibit you see is a mammoth and it’s baby. Then you can see some mammoth teeth and bones. There are numerous Indian artifacts on display. On display are a few stuffed animals. Great nature center. Seniors $2
