Carbon County Museum Went mainly to read about the history of Big Nose George. The older gentlemen working there told me lots of neat stories about everything and anything I wanted to know about. He told me all about poor Big Nose George. Saw the shoes made out of George's skin and his death mask. That was pretty spectacular.
I also enjoyed the large, ornate safe that had an equally interesting story. If this gentlemen hadn't been so excited about pointing out neat artifacts, I would have probably walked right past the safe. You could tell by the way he spoke that he really loved telling the stories. I could have listened to him for days.
