A pioneer schoolroom and old-fashioned family settings in the charming museum
preserve rustic accents of the county's heritage. Exhibits include household,
farm and ranch implements, plus a detailed scale model of a country town in the
early 1900s. There also is an exhibit on Gen. George B. McClellan's 1877 copper
mine, including artifacts from his campsite. McClellan was Commander-in-Chief of
the Union Army for a time in the Civil War, and he was the Democratic nominee
opposing Abraham Lincoln in the 1864 presidential election. Open 2:30–5 p.m.
