Walk through the 68 restored and furnished buildings, spanning simple frontier cabins to elaborate Victorian mansions; learn about the time period from costumed interpreters; watch demonstrations of skills, such as blacksmithing, coopering, or weaving; or take a class. GCV&M is home to the John L. Wehle Art Gallery, Nature Center, Silver Baseball Park, a pioneer farm, and several Heirloom Gardens.
