BEST: the train station replica because it was interesting to see the way things used to work.

WORST: everything other than the bests were worsts!!

The Fick Museum had some interesting points in it, such as the paintings that were in it used lots of fossil material in them. [The pictures above were actually made with tiny bits of naturally colored stones found in the area. There were also many paintings which included fossils found by the artist as part of the picture; for example, tiny vertibrae were used as tree trunks.]

The Best Thing about this museum: Stand in Annie Oakley

You can make faces when you do this but your mom might take your picture!

The Most Boring Thing: I don't know!

You can also see deer and buffalo heads. You could see a really big buffalo that was furry (and you could pet him).

See all the fossils and the art. The big fish was the coolest.

I liked the train station, too. At the train station my favorite thing was the thing you send messages with [telegraph] cuz I liked that you could say things with clicks!

Definitely bring your family here!
