February 12, 2023 - Yay I finally made it to Pahrump, yes I do enjoy Road Trips. It was a nice…read moredrive from Vegas, and we visited some Friends, went to Church, had lunch, stopped at a few other places. It was such a beautiful day! How do you end up at a Museum? Easily, when your in search of things to do that don't cost you money, and it's something you don't normally do, that's how you end up there. I am so glad I did stop and learned a thing or two.
It's a Sunday and it looks like just a building. It's away from the main street but not that far in. All that matters is that we found it. I love Cactus, so that was the first thing that caught my eye. Some Statue Artwork of Kids at the park outside, that was pretty cool to see.
We walked in and there is a replica of inside of a cabin, of course you just think that's the decor. Than you walk into the other door and bam so many interesting things to see and you just kind of stand there and take it all in. The Guide working that day just reminded me of home, like he was one of my Uncles, bursting with knowledge. He answered all my questions, walked with me and told me that all the items were Donated. Now that makes me more interested. I mean you can not find these things anywhere. While my family was on their own little tour, I was just enjoying everything I saw.
Before I forget, that entrance, all that wood is from a home that is over 100 years old, they preserved what they could. So Beautiful and in Great Condition.
I wasn't interested in several things. Historical stuff is what gets my attention. See my pictures, because I would be writing a book about everything. Growing up I did a lot of Ironing for my dad, so you know I had to take a picture of Irons throughout the years. Long story short so many fascinating things. I hope this is enough to make you stop on in and enjoy the History of Pahrump, Nevada.
The Bigger Joy for me was seeing how interested my 26 & 19 year old were. I am so proud that they enjoyed their visit. I thought it would be boring for them, well they proved me wrong. They dragged their Aunty with them, lol they all ran away from me.
For a great experience, head on out to Pahrump, stop on in for some great historical memorabilia, even if you have no company, go anyway, learn a thing or two and I guarantee you an amazing visit. Thank you Uncle for sharing your knowledge with me, I forgot to write your name down, but your face is in my memory!
