Another idea, if I may, would be to have someone videotape your grandfather in an interview and offer a showing room where people can listen to his stories.

Or perhaps, use an audio recording for each building and do like they do in the wax museums where you push a little white button and play the audio as you explore the building.

Great photos!

I am a grandson of one of the owners and nephew of the other. I regularly look for blogs and other posts about the town and found yours.

As I read your post it was fun to see that you enjoyed and appreciated what my grandfather and uncle have worked so hard to create. They are truly committed to the 1880 Town and my grandfather who is now in his mid 90s glows when he is read posts and talks to people about the town. He has a story and knows the history for every piece displayed in the town.

In regards to your suggestions, they do have plans for stagecoach rides and a gun-slinging show, to be honest I thought they had started that already, and I will pass the others along to my uncle.

I am glad you enjoyed the 1880 Town and hope you return soon.
