Kids who are curious about the old West will love this place. A real stagecoach and locomotive are on display outside, and artifacts from the pioneer days including old tools, arrowheads, and photographs are located inside this small museum. Older kids may appreciate the history of the museum, which is the oldest structure in Death Valley. Located next door to Furnace Creek Ranch, this is a convenient stop for anyone staying at the hotel — and definitely worth the trip if your little ones want to get photographed on a real locomotive. Open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Free. Hwy. 190, 760-786-2345
