This is a very cool museum ins8de of a very cool western wear store called JR'S. Lots of very rare items here and definitely worth a visit.

There is certainly a wow factor! This is a cute museum full of antique appliances. You have to ask to be let in, but the folks at the store were enthusiastic about it.

Such an interesting and unique place to check out! We had to ask an employee to view the museum but there were so many cool things in there!

Small place made up of a couple of rooms, with a huge number of small appliances, especially toasters! I found the displays interesting! My wife was more like, “Once you’ve seen a couple rows of displays, you’ve seen them all!” It would have helped to have some captions with more of the items to learn about when they were made. It would also help to have the appliances in some kind of order by date to see their progression. Inside a western wear store. You have to ask someone to let you into the display area.

I'm so glad i stumbled upon this pace on Atlas Obscura. Richard Larrison is a gem and his collection of small electrical appliances is an impressive multi-room display. Each item has a story - from the Cadillac Toaster to a 1935 electric washing machine - and Richard loves to pass those stories on. $20 suggested donation - they also sell hats so I bought one in lieu of the cash donation.
