    This is a cool place to take the kids while you're in Creston. It's a look back in time and how the people that called this place home survived and the ways they made their living. The old miners tunnels, railroad and lumber machinery is mind boggling to think this is all they had and the ingenuity that they had to build these things. Now look at how modern technology has advanced from where it began. As always leave it better than you found it and enjoy 😉.

    We had a great visit to the Creston Museum, there are lots of well setup displays inside and outside the facility. They have a number of local treasures for you to explore. Local or a visitor take the time to stop in. We also had an excellent tour host as well.

    Nice relaxed stroll thru the exhibits. Tammy took the time to elaborate on some of the items. The brass band was an added bonus👍

    For a small town museum this was phenomenal. Really enjoyed the tour! Great location as well

    Friendly and knowledgeable staff. One young lady delayed her lunch to interact and play educational games with our kids. My boys also loved the model trains on the upper floor which is a replica of Creston during the railroad era. The museum captured the history of Creston and area very well. There's an extensive collection of farming equipment. The grounds are well maintained, including a heirloom garden. Overall, a great place right off of the main road to spend a hour or two. Admission price is also very reasonable.

    Lots of history for the local area and a nice little gift shop. Tyler was a great guide that seemed excited to show you around and worked with 3 your kids and kept them entertained throughout the hour.
