The Museum has so much to offer from around the county and the world. The courthouse itself has a very interesting history that you can learn about on the tour that includes some fighting and stolen records! Exhibit Rooms include: Kitchen, Native American, Victorian Parlor, Fashion and Bedroom. On the upper level you can visit a Courtroom, Post Office, and Medical room. Some of artifacts you may see include hand woven basket by Emma Big Bear, Victorian Hair Art, icebox from Postville Hotel, 1930's operation table, judges bench.
