This used to be a serious Museum now it's just a tourist attraction, disappointing, but I understand the staff are working very hard to remain viable in a digital world and their efforts are to be commended.

One of the best Frontier museums in the country and they are home to the Cardiff Giant. Frontier Days is a great festival held the first weekend in June.

Grew up in fort Dodge, spent many days here as a child and always had a great time. Living in Chicago now and was back visiting family. We drove by and my 12-year old son asked what this was so I took him in thinking we'd be in and out in 30 minutes. We spent 3 hours there and he had a great time. For a total of $10 admission for the two of us, money very well spent.
