Here are a bunch of pictures of our visit to this museum. Really nice collection! I did not include pictures of everything, so you will need to visit to see all the treasures they have. The x-ray machine is stunning! They also have a complete Knights Templar uniform that is beautifully displayed. The one room schoolhouse is lovely. Really cool horse drawn manure spreader. Can see it all in couple hours.

This is an awesome museum. We originally stopped on our way through Ely, NV just to pass the time and check out the complete skeleton of the Cave Bear that is on display, which we did and it was magnificent. I didn't expect to be leaving this museum 2 1/2 hours later. There is so much to see here. They have a wonderful assortment of artifacts from just about every decade for the past 200 years and more. Fun place. I would definitely recommend this museum to anyone. It is a great place to bring the entire family. The staff is also very helpful and extremely polite. We will stop in again when our travels bring us past Ely again.

Julie was great. The museum is filled with rich history I loved it all. I took do many pictures but you need to come see it for yourself.

Didn't look like much from the street but we enjoyed the exhibits inside and in the outbuildings. Enjoyed learning about the old depot building that was moved from Cherry Creek.

We traveled 2200 miles to visit and we're not disappointed. Highly recommend the "be the engineer experience"

Hidden gem in historic mining country. The sweetest people, so many cool artifacts from bygone eras, including a short-nose cave bear skeleton! Also vintage-style toys for sale, Amerindian-made jewelry, rocks and crystals, and a really interesting selection of books. The cabin and 100+ year old machinery outside are fascinating to see. Bring your kids and check this place out!

Full of history of the area with a ton of artifacts inside and out. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Ely. Good for your own knowledge and entertainment and too help support the museum also. Definitely check out the short face bear display!

Nice little museum. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Could use some cleaning but had a good time looking. Of course it was awesome to see the cave bear skeleton! It's well worth the small fee!

I give 5star ratings! The museum is full of artifacts and informations about the city. I bought a ticket and pretend like I don't speak and understand English yet the two employees, an older man and young lady are so nice patiently giving me a slight informations and direction of the museum.
