    Got so distracted by the mention of the ice cream ..watched it a second time. What a great amount of time and effort put into that museum. Can see it the pride in the smallest of details.

    If you got to Marmarth, you must have traveled through my town (Bowman). Marmarth has a fascinating history. At one time it had a roundhouse and was a major point for loading cattle onto the trains. I know people who used to take part in cattle drives to Marmarth: true western stuff.
    This museum is a real treasure. And you might appreciate the museum in Bowman and the one in Ekalaka, MT.
    And, of course, Marmarth is in an absolutely gorgeous setting!

    I have so enjoyed your tours of North Dakota. My great grandparents homesteaded in Dakota Territory - around Oakes, in 1883. My grandpa homesteaded just south of Marmarth, what was considered Concord, ND, a stage coach stop. He ran away with my grandma in 1910. They got married in Concord. They lived in a sod house high above the Little Missouri - on a cut bank. The left in 1920, dried out because of the wrong farming techniques - which was when the dust bowl really started. The winter of 1919-1920 they stayed in a hotel in Rhame and headed back to Oakes when the weather improved. All they had left was a cow and a Model T. One of the neighbors, Ray Miller, hauled their soddie over to his place and in 1950, it was still being used as a farm building.

    My brother-in-law owns a Construction Company in North Dakota, he built most of the buildings for this museum. The owner (Mr Van-horn) is a 85 years old and a real gentleman. He knows a lot of history from the area and very nice guy to work for.

    Loved the tour! The little movie theater - the Mystic - is supposed to be the oldest one in North Dakota. Opened in 1914 and put on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1977, it underwent a major restoration in 1999. Evidently it still gets used for special events throughout the year.

    Marmarth was a crew change point on the former Milwaukee Road (Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific.) The tracks are now operated by Burlington Northern. The building on the right as you first came into town was the depot that was moved after the Milwaukee bellied up in 1986. The same U.S. 12 Highway runs through the town I live in here in Wisconsin.

    My problem with travelling is I want to sleep in my own bed every night but I really enjoy your adventure the past few months of seeing the USA. You caused the drought out west because God also followed you with the rain you encountered during the first few weeks of your travels. I will continue to watch your travels where ever you decide to go and share.

    That was a great museum tour. Hey it's not a ghost town. It's the biggest city in the county. It's way bigger than the county seat, which only has 20 people. LOL. It looks like the town started out in about 1910 with 790 people, grew to 1,318 ten years later and has been steadily declining ever since. Those Main Street buildings look to have been abandoned almost since the beginning. The original rusted light fixture is still hanging over the bank entrance. That's a sign that the building was never reused for anything much. 😎👍

    Kind of sad about the abandoned buildings in the town's business district. Rest assured, Marmarth, you are not unique by any means. Thanks for finding this gem and sharing with the rest of us, Russ.

That whole museum had a story to tell. I love museums! This was impressive. Sad to see so many buildings closed up. Quiet little RV park. Quiet little town. Loved the aerial view showing just how large Van Horns Museum was. Definite a must see if ever in the area. 👍
