- TravisMorganfield, Kentucky5 contributionsFree and Educational!This museum which tells the story of the area was very good. Free and informative with several buildings to see and stories to hear. You can see the buildings and read/listen to the stories involved in about 1hr. Street parking was easy and free. Worth a stop if visiting the area.Visited June 2023Travelled with familyWritten 18 June 2023
- Sara CFayetteville, Arkansas39 contributionsFree and fun little museumThis is such a fun, free place to take the kids and learn more about mining towns! I am glad we came here so we had more of an understanding of mining town stuff before going round to other places. The kids enjoyed getting their “passports” stamped at each location. It gave them something to focus on.Visited June 2023Travelled with familyWritten 21 June 2023

Free museum similar to many museums in the West that talk about local people, culture, and history. Multiple buildings holding exhibits and probably more information that you can digest in a visit. Very nice.

This is a very nice, FREE, collection of historic buildings from the early days of Frisco and a small, but informative museum. The museum is located on Main Street, with well-groomed grounds and informative plaques on each building. The historic buildings were relocated from around the town, thus the museum grounds are easily walkable for all ages.
Main street is about 1 mile off I-70. The downtown is very cute, with many shops and restaurants.

We enjoyed the trip to the museum. It was informative and fun. There were slides and videos and good artifacts of what life was like in the 1890s and early 1900s. We also played dress up in one of the buildings.

Extremely well-done education park that highlights the origins of the town. Original buildings and cabins have been moved to the grounds to create an historical site that the whole family can enjoy. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is because not all the cabins/building were open when we visited

This was so much fun. The museums were immaculate, the staff was so friendly the presentation was amazing. It is a must see if you are into the history of the area. It is a free, self guided tour and there is so much to learn about. I cannot state how much my husband and I loved this museum. A wonderful part of our trip. Pam from Idaho Falls.

My family and I are staying in Avon/Vail and decided to take a drive east to Frisco. Only a short 30 minute drive, Frisco is an awesome mountain town with a great Main Street strip of amazing restaurants and boutiques. The Museum is one of the first landmarks on main street. It is an outstanding example of architecture and artifacts of the late 19th/early 20th century living in the Rocky Mountains. I would 100% recommend a stop at Frisco if traveling on I70 west of Denver and definitely plan to stop and see this great historic landmark which is free to all!

You can fit a wheelchair in the school house (main building) but you may have trouble getting around in some of the other buildings. The jail and church are accessible but several of the buildings have stairs (no elevators) or smaller entryways. I still suggest going because you will get to see some of the history.
