Even before one enters the museum they will undoubtedly spy this Model A Ford sitting out front in eye grabbing light yellow paint. The grille on this model suggests that it is of pre 1932 vintage, but we can't nail it down any closer than that, 1928 to 1931 being our best guess. Unfortunately, we don't know anything more about the truck.
Upon entering the old depot one walks into the railway museum - visitor section, surrounded by artefacts, displays, photographs, signs and documents, all railway related. Part of this section is set up as a stationmaster's office. Elsewhere in the museum is a model train setup, depicting local rail yards, the town, a lumber yard and hardrock mines in the nearby mountains.
In a yard at the rear of the depot are more, larger, artefacts, including retired Great Northern caboose fraudulently numbered X202, a weird lumber carrier, several pieces of agricultural equipment and a number of smaller railroad and farm related items.
Admission is free, so don't hesitate to go in and explore further.
