Originally built in the late 19th century as a US Mint, this museum is a treasure trove of local history. Not only does it showcase how the mint once functioned and stamped coins, but it houses re-creations of a mine and a ghost town. You can also learn about the state's history, trace the Native American experience, and marvel at the skeleton of a mammoth. In addition, geology, native wildlife, and a silver service from the USS Nevada battleship are displayed. A gift shop offers books, Native American jewelry, specially-minted coins, and more. |
