This innovative historical Museum features five areas of local history including: Life in the Sandhills, Native American life, Life in the Country, Life in the Town and The Railroad that tied it all together. The secondary theme of Rogues, Rascals, and Visionaries gives you a look at the personalities that settled the area but you’ll have to figure out who is what! Pioneer memorabilia, Native American artifacts and railroad history are some of the highlights of the collection.

8/14/25: Machine is just beyond the welcome desk, in an alcove. It is visible from the desk.
The machine is rolling ok on clean copper, but the teepee and locomotive designs are missing part of the bead border and that end is very pointy. The other 2 designs are missing a bit of border, but don't have a pronounced pointy end. KJU
