Inside this roadside trading post, five rooms comprise a turquoise mining museum, which is packed tight with Chinese art, pioneer-era tools, prehistoric mining gear, bottles excavated from an abandoned hotel and anything else the owners feel like displaying. Pay $2 extra to feed the goats, llamas and exotic chickens (summer only).
