Me and my family visited the Heritage center in June 2011. We loved it! Both my daughters 15 and 12 yeras old and my 7 year old son thought it was fun and they got to see little bit of how their Great great great grandfather lived his life as a cowboy on the Trail. Everyone was very helpful and all the questions we had were answered. 5 stars to everyone who works there!
