Listen to honky-tonk piano music and sip an ice cold sarsaparilla in the 1880's Saloon. If you get too rowdy you might get taken to the marshal's office and thrown in their 1880's Jail. Visit their 1880's Hotel Lobby complete with stairway and see their hotel hallway and authentic hotel room. See how the cowboys lived in a real line shack, shop in our General Store or have a quiet moment in an 1880's Church.
