Description
A shot from the Museum of the Mountain West in Montrose, Colorado.
A completely restored replica of a 1864 town, complete as you can see, with an old dusty Dr.'s desk. A look into another era. This is an original 'Oliver Typewriter'.
The Oliver Typewriter Company was an American typewriter manufacturer headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The Oliver Typewriter was the first effective "visible print" typewriter, meaning text was visible to the typist as it was entered. Oliver typewriters were marketed heavily for home use, utilizing local distributors and sales on credit. Oliver produced more than one million machines between 1895 and 1928 and licensed its designs to several international firms.
The MMW takes you back to the old west, circa 1840-1940. Guided tours allow you to enter historic buildings and sets and be "up close & personal" with rare and unusual artifacts displayed as they would have been at the time. In the main building store and office sets are completely furnished with historic artifacts and include: a saloon with unusual music machines, 2 doctor's offices, 2 dentist offices, grocery store, drug store, millinery, and dry goods store, plus other rare artifacts. On the grounds guests tour furnished historical buildings from western Colorado. A one-room school house, teacherage, 1913 church, 2 very early D&RG RR buildings, an 1880's Carriage Works (where Jack Dempsey trained), a general store, and a multitude of vintage cabins are displayed throughout the town of Adobe Flats on the 6 acre grounds.

I love finding places like this review feel like they just walked away a minute ago and again I come back looking for the glasses well done. L/F
