We love visiting Richard Fike's personal collection of artifacts, quirky items, memorabilia and buildings, all brought together on one piece of property shortly outside of Ridgway and minutes from Montrose, Colorado. We thoroughly enjoy the tours; each one is slightly different and informative. Our last tour, with Mike, was wonderful. He is slow and methodical, and extremely kind. We'll be back again, Lord willing, next year.
