While touring the Siskiyou County Historical Society's indoor museum I enjoyed many exhibits highlighting the Native American history and cultural history of Siskiyou County. One of the displays was this model railroad of some make-believe town. There was no interpretive display or plaque highlighting this model railroad. I DID notice an empty strawberry preserves jar that some museum volunteer left on the table. And so I give this model railroad town the name 'Smuckers'.
