Let's go on exhibition!…read more Let's always see the visitors center! See the history of the area with a movie before you start the tour of the area. Come and learn. We are learning about minerals and get to see examples too. The minerals are from Nevada and all other parts of the United States . To be a miner what a life? They have what the miners used to wear to stay alive. All the artifacts the people of the area used. So interesting. This is living history. You can see the mines and all the examples of what mining looked like . Wow! Thank you for this opportunity and all the preserved resources and knowledge they have kept alive here.

This was a great, unsuspecting find!…read more I was in the area and had stopped by a store and on my way out she told me i had to stop by the car forest. To be honest, i really didn't want to. But something told me to just go even if was for a minute. And now being honest again, I wish i would have stayed longer. This is such a cool place where these cars are somehow upright and painted on. I'm told you can paint whatever you want on them if you have the supplies. The area seemed really sprawling so i don't believe i finished it all but it's a great place to stop and take pictures. It is super unique. The downside , unless i missed it is i have no clue the history of how or why the cars are there or their significance to that area in particular, but it's cool nonetheless. I love a roadside attraction/ stop and this one is definitely worth stopping by.

Mood - history of course…read more In 2015 The Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad Historical Society was formed. The society was formed with the purpose of preserving the history of the railroad. The model railroad was built to scale of the layout between Ludlow, California and Death Valley Junction. The museum was transported from the Armagosa Opera House and Hotel where it was originally housed. Currently the model railroad is not in operation but it is getting there. As you look at each piece that has been carefully placed know that this is completely to scale. There is even a depiction of a small cemetery. Would def recommend for history purposes as it is still a work in progress. Pricing is free, donations are accepted. Location is Crook/ Main St - Goldfield,NV ample parking

We had such a good time with James and he was very knowledgeable about the mine. It was amazing to literally go back in time and see everything as it was many years ago. If you're ever in Goldfield you want to connect to what things were actually like back then by seeing and hearing about things then the Florence mine tour is your first place to g. James was so much fun as our tour leader and he's just a really nice young man.

It was the perfect place for the three of us. The history of the mine and all the building was more then interesting. There was one time when the owner came up with his two young boys and was showing me all the old buildings and telling me the history. I remember walking into one of the buildings and two barn owls came flying out. Needless to say I was startled. The property over looks all of Goldfield. What a beautiful place. If you ever get the opportunity go for a tour. You will not regret it. I Love Goldfield NV.

A Wonderful Step Back in Time at Laws Railroad Museum…read more We absolutely loved our visit to the Laws Railroad Museum & Historic Site in Bishop, California! From the moment we arrived, everyone was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. There was so much to see and explore that we could have spent hours there. The museum is like stepping into an entire little town from another era. There's an old schoolhouse, a library, historic buildings, station agent family home, doctor's office, firehouse and fascinating pieces of everyday life -- including old Maytag appliances. Every building seemed to have something interesting to discover. One of the highlights was riding the Brill train, which was such a fun experience and especially exciting for our 9 year old son, who absolutely loves trains. Another memorable part of our visit was meeting Makenzie, who was working on and cleaning the historic No. 9 4-6-0 Baldwin steam locomotive. Makenzie took the time to talk with us and shared some fascinating information about the train and its history. That personal interaction really made our visit special. It's really wonderful to meet a community of train enthusiasts. You can tell how much care, dedication, and passion goes into preserving this incredible piece of California history. It's truly a hidden gem and a wonderful place for families, history lovers, and, of course, train spotters! We highly recommend Laws Railroad Museum and can't wait to visit again!

The little town has movie set quality buildings full of antiques of how people lived from the 1883 building of the trains station through the 1960's when the train stopped coming through. Not to mention antique cars and wagons. Be sure to check out their 4-6-0 Baldwin steam locomotive in restoration. We learned Morris Code and sent messages on the Telegraph. You'll be pleasantly surprised and although we spent two and a half hours there, we could have stayed longer.

Awesome ,overall. Great staff, excellent service ,over and above,…read more ( personally id like to thank Jaimie,at the front desk, who found time to help us out in a very personal matter, which I wouldnt have ever thought possible from any place we had stayed previously, the level of consideration and humanity is a very much appreciated contribution to a society that lately seems to have forgotten what Hospitality and service are truly about. I thank you for not only your prompt help but the discretion you used as well. Thank you again for your kindness and patience as well as your genuine positive attitude twards a very sensitive situation) This person alone ,is reason enough to highly recommend this Hotel as a premier spot while mining in Tonopah, or any other activity that requires superior accommodations. And they also accepted the Cat, who has made travel at times more difficult than should be. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Thank you again, and not only would I stay again, but plan on an extended stay in the very near future.. Hopefully Jaimie is still there, in any capacity and is considered for promotion or a raise or both, she truly raised the bar in the Hospitality and service industry, I hope she starts a seminar for the rest of the hotels throughout the state of Nevada. They all would benefit from her leadership and courtesy..

Last time we visited this place we stayed in our motorhome in the little RV park in back and we…read morefelt it was actually not too bad. This time we stayed in the hotel. It's been interesting to read reviews of others who have given the place much higher marks. However, there is a realization here that everyone has a different level of standards. Overall, we want a place that's clean and put together. We did not feel that was the case here. In other words, I could probably say it was about the worst hotel room I ever paid for. To begin with tissues from the previous guest were still behind the bed table. We left them there. The mattress spring covers weren't just dirty. It was stained and filthy. It was obvious with the condition of the way the bed was made and cords that there was no proper training on anything. There was a refrigerator in the room that when opened the ice had such a build up of ice you knew it had never been checked or cleaned. Moving down to the restaurant ..... the ketchup when turned upside down "clumped" to opening and didn't slide like fresh ketchup. The bottles of other toppings appeared to have also been there a mighty long time without being freshened up. Okay .. what did we order? We ordered two hot fudge sundaes. The hot fudge was lukewarm and clumped... After all, what did we expect? The following morning when we stopped by "Registraiton" to drop the keys off, the clerk was sound asleep in his chair. Evidently, he'd been there a bit as other keys were laying on the counter that had also been cropped off. He did look at me and grunt and then went back to sleep.
