The 1915 Stanley Mountain Wagon is a twelve-seater steam-powered wagon recently restored and returned to the museum. Mountain wagons were built to transport visitors to the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado from the rail station with their luggage. One of few extant Stanley Mountain Wagons with a steel frame, it's a must-see!

Join Nan Colton on Saturday, October 28th as she portrays Mrs. Tidbits, a loquacious and vivacious widow who shares the goings-on, goings out and about and the ups and downs of living in our state during the “Roaring 20s." If you have ever wondered what it was like to live in the 1920s during prohibition, when bridges and railroads throughout Florida were being completed and everybody was encouraged “for their health” to retire to the Sunshine State, this narrative is bound to be fascinating, entertaining and thought provoking. $15 at door. Please RSVP- button below.
