Many of the cars are covered in colorful graffiti and artwork, which makes the whole place feel like a giant open-air art installation. When I visited there were only a few other people around, so it was quiet and easy to explore. I was even able to get some great drone footage without worrying about crowds. Definitely a unique stop if you're traveling through the area.

Mood - history of course…read more In 2015 The Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad Historical Society was formed. The society was formed with the purpose of preserving the history of the railroad. The model railroad was built to scale of the layout between Ludlow, California and Death Valley Junction. The museum was transported from the Armagosa Opera House and Hotel where it was originally housed. Currently the model railroad is not in operation but it is getting there. As you look at each piece that has been carefully placed know that this is completely to scale. There is even a depiction of a small cemetery. Would def recommend for history purposes as it is still a work in progress. Pricing is free, donations are accepted. Location is Crook/ Main St - Goldfield,NV ample parking

I will be honest, this wasn't a museum for me. I enjoy history, especially local history but this felt a little boring to. The museum is a decent size; hosting exhibits indoors and outdoors (be careful as the sign reads going outside, sometimes it sticks and you're locked outside) The museum hosts local books, artifacts and tons of mining artifacts that were interesting for a quick glance. Overall, the museum was a nice quick stop. The staff was super friendly. I enjoyed the idea of signing in and keeping my name in the books as a part of their history.

We went into the gift shop/museum and the gentleman was a source of good information on Goldwell.

Although not on Yelp, we made a stop at the nearby historic Bullfrog and Rhyolite Cemetery. I especially wanted to see the grave of Panamint Annie.

The museum offers so much history about this little town along with the surrounding area including the now ghost town Rhyolite. I was fascinated by all the items they feature which most are still in great condition. Beatty is located in Nye County and was originally populated by the Western Shoshone and Paiute Indians before it became a town. It was known as a mining area and it is now known as "The Gateway to Death Valley. " Most of the items featured at the museum provide you a view of how people lived here in the early 1900's. A great little stopover and the museum provides free admission but a donation is always welcome!
