Laws Museum

On January 10, 2009 we were on our way home from Mammoth and decided to stop in Bishop at Laws Museum. Pretty interesting, an old town (Old West style) with a grocery store and dentist and doctor's office, a Barber Shop. In the Post Office if you looked in the tiny window there was a manikin of a lady dressed as if she worked there and if you push a button she talked. Tay was scared to death of that thing. She would not look in the window and if there was a manikin in any other place she didn't want to go in. There was a manikin of a lady in one of the houses and I didn't tell her so she came in and was fine. I don't know what she was envisioning, a scary looking robot?

AJ loved the tractors!

Tay thought this old piano was pretty neat!


The boys thought this train was so awesome! :)

AJ: "It even has a word on it." Referring to the #9.

They were all inside the train checkin' out how to drive this thing.


Tay was ringing the bell of the train.

"Mom, the kids used to write on their very own tiny chalkboards." She told me before we walked in the schoolhouse and then we saw for ourselves, she was right, there was a tiny chalkboard on every desk.

"That's a really small school." She said.

When you turned the corner there was a bedroom and Tay thought that was different, the teacher slept in the same place that the kids went to school.
