Great museum, free entry but suggested $5 donation. Well worth it. You can do a self-tour or take a…read morefree guided tour. I suggest the free guided tour, tour guide was very knowledgeable and you get entrance to many buildings, that you can just see from the outside of the self-tour. Biggest oddity: the two story outhouse. I had a great time, highly recommend.

Large museum considering this is a tiny town. A lot of neat artifacts inside the museum and a bunch…read moreof buildings to view. They offer tours of the property (we only had time to listen to the beginning of one). Please note that certain buildings can only be entered via tour. FREE entry (donations accepted). Friendly staff. The gentleman working inside the museum was really nice and eager to show us photos of nearby ghost towns. He seemed very enthusiastic about the work that he does. Great stop if you like pioneer history and/or mining history. BEST PART: The two-story outhouse. Make sure you at least walk around to see it (you don't need to be on a tour to walk around, only to enter certain buildings).

I don't think I am biased with what I am going to say about A Bar A at all. Being more of an urban…read moreperson I really have to say that A Bar A would be a great place to go to spend a few nights here. Typically it does not make much sense to stay here because my parent's ranch is right around the mountains and I can stay there free of charge. On one rare occasion we got to go in here to visit since it seems kind of strict to get in here if you don't have reservations. Wow! What a beautiful ranch and the facilities are amazing! They got guest cabins galore and look so nice, a gift shop, a restaurant, tours where you ride horses, a swimming pool, a small airstrip and so much more! you don't need to go anywhere because it all right there for you! They are ready to spoil their clients and someday I want to be one and put practicality aside! Great guest ranch!

World class fly fishing, endless miles of horse trails, amazing hiking vistas, skeet, trap, tennis and down right luxurious guest cabins. I almost don't want to review it for fear that too many people will find out about this world class Guest Ranch. Oh by the way... terrific food as well....

If it wasn't for the fact that there are every bit of 278 people in this little hamlet, you could…read morebe forgiven if you completely by-passed this Historical Museum on the outskirts of the burgeoning metropolis known as Centennial, Wyoming. The roar of the dense traffic (an average of about 5-7 cars per hour) could lead you to worry as to whether crossing the oncoming lane of traffic on a narrow country lane is a safe bet. Well, worry no longer even though there are no actual plans to add a traffic light, additional stop sign, or even a blinking yellow crosswalk to this picturesque town. After an approximate 25 mile drive from Laramie, the mountains start getting bigger in your windshield - well, because they are getting closer. As you come down into the entrance of the valley, you begin to get the idea that you could actually live and retire here. Before you decide to do that, you really need to stop at this museum located at the entrance to the town just wear the signs warn the deer, elk, and occasional tourist to slow down to about 30. Warning: Not slowing down will cause you to miss the museum, the ice cream shop, the coffee drive-thru, the steak houses, the tavern, the little store, and might even get you a ticket from the lone policeman who sits in his patrol car just past the steak restaurant on the left. Be warned as it is definitely a speed trap and Barney Fife will stop you and throw you in the clink for trying to destroy this pristine haven with your Co2 emissions. It does not matter that it probably emits less than the flatulent cow herds scattered around town. Back to the museum that is on the left hand side of the road, DON'T MISS IT! It is run by volunteers who also recommend that you don't miss it. The people of the town don't want you to miss it. In fact, if Centennial had a mayor, they would probably campaign on the promise to bring more traffic to the Nici Self Historical Museum. So, DON'T MISS IT! Seriously, the museum is free but does accept donations to help keep the doors open, so contribute as much as you feel you can. The museum continues to add quaint exhibitions that show you things like the history of the town, the history of the mine which is now closed, and the ranching heritage of past generations. There are several very large ranches in the area that are still in operation. The exhibits also include items like a clawfoot metal bathtub, uniforms and outfits from over 100 years ago, an old train caboose, old fire engines, horse-drawn wagons, a nice wood-working shop exhibit, and even a distant relative of Mater of "Cars" fame sits ready to take on the next winter with his skis and tracks. Having been a funeral director in the past, it was also of interest that there is only one grave in this entire area and it is located at the museum. The grass is fairly well kept and it is fenced off, but no other cemeteries. The caretakers did not even seem to know why this is because many old towns even have some semblance of a Boot Hill. While you can probably see everything in less than an hour, you could easily spend closer to 2 hours reading all the interesting pieces of trivia and the history of the hardy generations who came to live where very few were willing to live at the entrance to some of the most beautiful country in the world.
