I visited the museum on 5/23/23. The window was not on display, and is in storage, according to the curator. More work is to be done to reorganize the exhibits before it is placed back out on display. So, no luck there, but the rest of this small regional museum, filled with fossils, dino bones, and other interesting artifacts, was well worth it.
Interesting fact: the Sonorasaurus is the official state dinosaur of Arizona, and the hind leg of the only one ever discovered was found here in Cochise County, and is on display at the museum.

Be sure to go inside the restaurant to see the fiberglass Ronald McDonald that served as the drive-up ordering speaker for this first-of-its-kind drive-thru. Very cool indeed!

- Dallas, Texas - Zoo-Themed McDonald's
Sadly, this zoo-themed McDonald's is no longer there, as McDonald's had it torn down and put up a regular McDonald's in its place. It was the only one like it in the United States.

The owner has two intact Muffler Men plus the Spock Muffler Man, which has been moved here and is being restored. Two hundred vintage signs are being erected. He has many other items, too (Superman in a booth, McDonald's playground equipment, a Pegasus, several restored autos). He is super friendly and showed me around. Easy to find.
