We like to go to local museums to understand the history of where we are. Pahrump has such a museum that we have planned to go to for the entire time we have been here. Somehow time has gotten away from us! We finally made it just before our time was up in Pahrump!

Many of Pahrump's original buildings were moved to this location. You could go inside and look around. This was the General Store. A cash register and different type of dry goods were inside of this building.

This is the oldest standing building in Pahrump. Looks like it may not be standing for long! It is just used for storage now.

This old ambulance reminded us of the old Helms Bakery trucks. Behind the ambulance you can see grain silos.

Many of the old towns had big advertising "Muffler Men". We found this broken one on the museum grounds.

It was originally a Texaco Big Friend.

A local home sales company bought it and changed the hat and the paint and used it to grab attention to it sales office!

It was going to be demolished but it was decided to save it. Maybe someday it will be restored. Until then it sits on the museum grounds broken but not gone!

These cactus flowers had just bloomed. Just thought they were worth showing! Beautiful!

That's it for Pahrump. Now it's on to Vegas for a month!
