And despite the fact that I just walked in without an appointment, on a whim, the curator/tour guide, Robert was so kind and gracious to welcome me and give me a grand tour of this magnificent landmark. I saw the parlor, the site of what was formerly a saloon during the early wild west, and artifacts that pioneering families left behind. The history of this place dates back to the very late 1890s, primarily the early 1900s. You feel the history as you walk into each room...I cannot stress what a magnificent find this was to stumble upon. I have visited house museums even as far as South Carolina, dating back to civil war era .... but this one has now become one of my favorites. I highly recommend it! :-D</p> I drove into Van Horn today for a business meeting, and decided just before leaving to check out this building that happened to pique my interest; it just so happened to be this museum.
