The Frontier Times Museum was our first stop on our loop. We really enjoy these little museums, it seems so many towns have them – someone or several someones get the idea and keep it going.
Museum founder and luminary, J. Marvin Hunter, Sr., never said no to a gift to the museum’s collection. He felt that if the artifact was important to the donor, then it should be important to everyone.
