San Francisco's Last Tumbleweed

The tumbleweed is no longer here, but the museum is still fun if you're into the old west and stagecoaches.

San Francisco's Last Tumble Weed

The tumbleweed is gone but the stage and other exhibits remain.

[Mulvaney, 04/30/2011]

May 2011: The Tumbleweed has returned! April 2011: Unofficial tumbleweed advocate Phil Pasquini, who has kept an eye on this museum exhibit accessory for 30+ years, writes: "Not to worry. They have two and sometimes remove one for cleaning… Besides, when it's removed at Xmas, they get nothing but complaints about it and have to post a sign in the museum telling when it will be replaced."
