What a great stop. Worth every penny. Some wonderful history preserved within this place. Little overwhelming but amazing. Bring quarters or get some from the greeter. You will be rewarded by some .25 operated music machines of yesteryear. Met the owner who was working hard and enjoyed having this place available. Wont go into detail further cause there is just a vast collection. Well laid out and easy to spend 3-8 hours both inside and out.

Very cool experience. Loss of awesome things to see. things that youll probably never ever seen your lifetime. Definitely memories that will last a lifetime. I recommend you bring the family your friends too. I got a chance to meet the owner today it was his birthday. Maybe if youre lucky youre a praying mantis will land on you as it did us. Be sure to check out the cactus Bell and Bonnie and Clyde at the bank.

What a wonderful place! There is so much history to see. You really need a whole day to see most things. They have interactive things that you can get into and climb on. Love all of the metal artwork and sculptures.

I could have spent all day here. There is so much to see and so much to learn. This place truly demonstrates the miracle that is America. Don’t forget to look around corners, or you’ll miss additional displays. I can’t wait to bring the rest of my family here!

Gil has the most amazing collection. We were awww struck and spent hours looking at everything. We loved talking to him. He is so filled with knowledge. Hes been everywhere and collected everything. Its amazing to see someone that has the love Gil does for American history in the things he collects. So by this place. Youll love it!

Every time I come here, I enjoy it ️ It took my father and I about 3 hours to look at everything that we did, and Im pretty sure we didnt look at everything there There is so much to be seen, lots of military pieces, tons of cars, motorcycles, farming equipment, aviation, and my favorite part about going to this place is getting to sit in the helicopter! (Ive been to it twice, when I was about 10, and today at 29). There are little buildings all throughout with old stuff, so much has been added to it since I was there as a kid, and Im glad a lot of the same stuff that was there is still there. Its honestly such a cool little museum, and I highly recommend to anyone with some spare time that finds history to be enjoyable or interesting to take a walk through this historical palace

Decided to stop on our way from Yellowstone to Glacier and we weren’t disappointed. The kids could have spent all day looking at everything. Lots of interactive activities and definitely something for everyone. Not sure we will be up that way again, but if we are this is a must stop again for our family.

Very fun museum with a surprising amount of history, from native America to military to bikes, vehicles.... Etc. And thats just the tip of the iceburg inside! Once you step out the doors of 50s America... You enter... What feels like an early America settlement with vehicles and items dropped in from all over time. Lots of displays inside of original OLD single bedroom homes straight out of a settlement. There are various interactive elements as well as being able to sit in a helicopter! So much to see, be ready to spend a number of hours intertwining yourself through the many little walkways over their multi acres of history! Itd awesome.. But please be respectful. Over the years theyve had t9 limit interaction and touching due to the abuse of property by many. As this isnt a guided tour but you freely explore everything at your own pace and your own route. Its so awesome and not the simple little trap youd expect

Amazing collection! Everything from a functioning 1950s penny arcade to WWI German machine guns to a replica of a 19th century optometrists office. A theme park for historians and anyone whos interested in anything, really. A must-see.

It was fun lots of stuff not labeled so much stuff it was a little overwhelming. But fun to poke around. Recommend not going on a rainy day as most of the time you are outside.

Very passionate collection of Americana but just TOO much to appreciate and absorb. We enjoyed the main build g but after awhile there was just too many items in each display. Hard to focus and enjoy.

So much to take in. There is a bit of everything in this great place.

This place is an absolute treasure trove of historical artifacts, memorabilia, etc. A must see if youre in the area, but definitely worth traveling for. There are displays and a playground for the kids. The biggest trick is to try and not get overwhelmed by the wealth of information and numerous items there are to see.

To some this may look like a pile of junk, and thats mostly why we stopped. We like strange and interesting roadside attractions. We were blown away at the collection these folks have put together. The amount of historical artifacts and collectables is more than impressive. I could have easily spent an entire day looking at everything. Tickets are $10, which seems a little expensive at first, but its definitely worth the price. If youre ever up by this museum, you have to stop. It may be a little different than most museums, but you cant go wrong stopping here.

Loved the museum lots of fun. Not a traditional museum you can be more hands on, the areas that are hands off are very appealing to the eye as well.

Very cool! This museum has it all, from tiny things to giant things. We will definitely be going back because there is just no way to see everything. If you love old things this is a must-see.

WOW! One of the best little museums we seen. This place has a lot of everything. Give yourself plenty of time to walk through and see it all. The staff are well educated and very friendly. This is a MUST see!

Wow, what a fun place! We stopped after seeing the sign and so glad we did, an amazing collection of Americana. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area, Id say between 1.5 and 2 hrs to make sure you get to see each exhibit for a few minutes, but you could easily spend more time.Be sure to read some of the handwritten notes to learn about individual pieces, there is a lot to see!

This place is filled with so much history!! Worth the few buck we spent. Plan on making a day of it and pack a lunch (lots of places for a picnic) for a family of 5 it was like 30 $ (worth it) there are litterly thousands of different things to look at. From cars, planes, helicopters, motorcycles, clothes, toys. Ill post pics too. This place looks like a museum on steroids. My little history buffs loved it.

So so so soooooo much stuff. My biggest complaint, and its actually a big one, is that few things are labeled and dated so you dont have context for most of it. But wow, this place is a bit surreal. Worth the stop.

A great museum that one should not miss. The sheer volume of stuff to see here is amazing, kind of like a Smithsonian of the west.

Very cool museum! Even awesome without entering the building.

Theres a little bit of everything. Take your time and enjoy.

This place literally has some of everything. Absolutely amazing that this place exists and is shared with the public. Cant wait to go back.

Such a lovely place to catch up on some world history! Great selection of items from around the World can transport you to another time! My friend and I showed up with only an hour to run through and absorb what we could but knew we had to go back and did! Thanks for your help

Very cool place - authentic and unpretentious - interesting views of American life

Fun for the whole family. More expensive than most comparable museums.

We were just driving by and had to stop. Only $6 to get in and its worth every cent. A lot of really cool stuff to look at. Cars, motorcycles, guns and of course UFOs. Glad we stopped!

So much history, so much to see!!

Amazing place must see if you are passing through the area.

Best place in the Northwest if youre interested in military history. But of course its so much more. Farming, an old saddle shop. And a huge logging tug boat!

This is a very interesting museum. We make sure we stop by whenever we are visiting the area to see whats been added. There staff, which I believe are the owners are super friendly. Weve taken the family twice and the kids always have a blast. I would definitely recommend checking this place out of your in the area.

Great for kids, lots of fun, you probably need 2 hours to get through everything!

Where do I start. Wear your walking shoes LOTS to see. Loved it.

It was a fun stop, and they really packed in in. You could go again and find stuff you missed. And was fun for the kids too. Thanks

A weird and interesting place. Easily worth the $6 addmission if you have the time.

You can spend a day or two checking out all the cool stuff they have here! Pro America and great staff!

Great place with tons of history items.

This is a fun place! Lots of interesting stuff.

One of the weirdest most facinating museums in the world. The collection of antiques and machinery is amazing.

This place has something for everyone and so much stuff. Can spend all day to take it all in in detail

Fun place with a little bit of everything

Thank you for your creation Gill. Wow, what a tribute to America and in many respects to the world! Three hours was definitely not enough time to see even a majority of what youve got in this collection. Ill have to come back!

The best museum experience in my life.

Very interesting lots of memories. Saw and very rare car like my first car. OK it was a Crosley. Also a Hand crafted motorhome which could have been the inspiration for the GMC Motorhomes.

Incredible. Must visit for adults and kids alike.

This is a must see. It is a great opportunity to see the impact of progress in our society.

This place has one of everything

Good place to go with friends and family. The only problem is how much stuff is stored in each exhibit. You can’t really see anything.

This place was huge. Inside and out endless things to see. You could walk through a hundred times and still miss something. They have a little bit of everything. History and some fun stuff but it all tells a story. A few things you can even interact with from planes to musical aliens. Lots of cool historical items.

I did not have time in my schedule to take the tour.. but my daughter who is a local said the next time I visit she will bring the grandkids because they see something new every time

Amazing place. Very well kept, very friendly staff.

Such a fun place to visit and walk back into time. As I walked in the front door, to my right has a show case was a pair of gauntlet gloves made by my great grandmother, Annie Starr. Such beautiful beadwork...

So much to look at, lots of great Americana. If you love American Pickers... youll love this place. Plan on some time, youll need a whole day to see it all, maybe more.

This was seriously one of the coolest places we’ve ever seen! We are so glad to have stumbled upon it as we were heading to Glacier. The place is massive and the collection is extensive. Definitely something for most. :)

Excellent museum it took us 3 hours to see everything. There are some unique pieces here. Sometimes it can happen that it looks like abandoned pieces. But it has it charm.

An Awesome collection of many parts of history. Recommend to give yourself 2-3 hours to see. Harley Davidson lovers will enjoy the collection of Harleys and other motorcycles.

Arrived with a big group from our 40th High School Reunion. Gil is VERY knowledgeable about the local history. Most of us thought we knew a lot just because we went to school here, we were wrong. There is so much more. This man has been collecting his whole life and many of the items can not be found anywhere else. Well worth the time. You can spend 4-8 hours without even trying. You will enjoy it.

WOW! What an AMAZING place to visit. ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING you would ever want and never imagine to see beautifully displayed. We will be back and strongly recommend you do not skip this one. Its for young and old even your leashed dog is welcome. Amazing tour through the ages. We learned alot.

If you are looking to go anywhere for history this Museum is wonderful!

Really cool place. A good mix of local and national history. Worth visiting.

It is a theme park rather than a museum

My only complaint is that i can only give it 5 stars.

The largest museum this side of the Mississippi. One of the few museums that have stuff they encourage kids to play with and on. The owner knows the history not only the broader history but the personal history of most the pieces.

Amazing collection. If you go plan for at min 2hrs. Owner/collector is there to talk to. Only thing was museum is letting things get over abundant so looking rundown and junky. It would have been nice to have signs on some of the outdoor equipment that explained what they are.

I really wanted to go in but we didnt have the time. Ill have to come back someday

Such a wonderful place for both kids and parents alike!!

What a gem of kitschy Americana stuff!

A wonderful place with so much to see. Absolutely fabulous

Wow! What a great collection. This musem has something fun to see for everyone. There were 8 of us that went 4 were teenagers and they loved it. The $10 adult admisson was well worth it. We only wished we would have arrived earlier in the day, you could easily spend half a day if not more looking at everything. We will definitely be back.

Awesome museum! Well worth the stop, friendly staff and amazing relics of the past. Something for everyone!

We had a great time here. Lots of areas so there was something for everyone- plan on not dressing up- it is indoors and outside- by its very nature and quantity, you are not going to stay clean, but that is part of the fun. We could go back several times and it will always hold interest

Too much stuff stored haphazardly. There was so much stuff that you couldnt see anything and it was not organized for display. For example, 30 military uniforms on hangers packed on a rail out of reach collecting dust helps no one. Papers laying out on cement floors absorbing moisture. They tried to have a great museum but often, less is more. The owner snapped at my dad when he asked about a veteran discount (rude old guy). The displays were very right wing political ideals. Pro gun, pro life, abstinence only, pro smoking, more guns, limit the government, anti liberal displays. This is a free country so Im not shaming their views, just reporting on the displays. The out buildings had SO MANY weeds. Lots of uneven boards which are a tripping hazard. I even found a container of ant poison dated 2007 on a low shelf which implies there is no commitment to safety. There is a neat play area for kids with a metal chime. Its too much to take in on a single visit. The price is reasonable for the amount of stuff to look at.

Very fun but crowded

This is definitely a one of a kind place to visit. The inside building has nice exhibits and a good layout. The outside area is huge and was reminiscent of a junk yard, but very interesting none the less. A few too many signs complaining about previous guests damaging stuff.......we get it, there are lots of idiots out there and yes, you do need to put up do not touch signs everywhere.....like it or not, this is the way of the world.

Awesome place! Wish we wouldve had more time to spend here. So many things to see. Indoor and outdoor!

Cool place. A LOT of stuff to check out. Most of it is out side so keep that in mind on a really hot day.

There is a lot to see here. Me and my family have driven by this place on multiple occasions and didnt have time to stop. The outside of the building is misleading due to the museum having indoor and outdoor exhibits. The Americana there was breathtaking to say the least. There was also lots of intractable exhibits such as tractors, helicopters, pianos, old school arcade console, ETC. We were there for about 3 hours and probably still missed some exhibits. The exhibits also arent quite organized as a typical museum. They were thrown around but similar exhibits were close to eachother, typically in big sheds or barns. The staff was nice and honestly seemed happy when we mentioned how great we thought the experience was. This place is probably the best museum Ive ever been to.

Super quirky, wonderful indoor and outdoor collections, bizarre and a great stopm

This museum is misleading from the outside. It has 42 buildings out back. It is an incredible collection of just about everything. Definitely a must do.

One of the best collections of cool stuff. Plan for a couple hours at least

Quite interesting. Take your time. There is a lot to see!

Love this place. Have been here 5 or 6xs. So interestingSo much to see and do. All day thing

Absolutely wonderful place. A bit too political but the exhibits are done very well.

Wow, take your time at this place. We only had a few hours and didnt scratch the surface of all the items that are on display. Every where you turn is another display. Most of the exhibits are part of one mans collection. The outdoor exhibits are dusty. But so interesting. They have motorcycles inside, so it is a bit musty in one area. However, we didnt care. The history of the area and all the different types of exhibits is well worth it. Something for everyone here. My son loved the old fire truck and the siren on it. He also enjoyed the bomb warning siren inside. Definitely going back to take more in.

Was fun very interesting to see everything inside

What an amazing place to visit. Great child hood memories. Thank you.

A lot of fun. Next time I will need to plan more time to explore.

My brother and I were fortunate to spend a long Autumn afternoon touring the museum as virtually the only guests because there was some maintenance underway at that time. I hope someday to be able to return and spend at least 2 days wandering through the indoor and outdoor exhibits before making the beautiful drive around Flathead Lake again. It may lack The Panache and polish of the Smithsonian but in my opinion the miracle of America Museum is every bit as impressive as any other Museum of Natural History, or history. It is even more remarkable for being the result of the efforts of one man, not some Grand government committee or political effort.

Wish i could give it 10 stars!! AMAZING MUST SEE IF ITS THE ONLY TRIP YOU MAKE ON VACATION!! So cool!!

This place was awesome. You could spend days at this place. They had something interesting for everyone. We just left this and I would highly recommend it. Best six bucks you will spend all day.

Very very fun place to visit!!

Absolutely crazy collection of all things Americana. Inexpensive as museums go and something for everyone.

Great daycare area for your husband. Lots to look at . Could spend all day here.

This is the best collection for a wide variety of interests. I highly recommend making this a stop on your travels.

I could spend a week (or 3) here exploring, pondering, and researching what the heck I see for historical, or mechanical, or materials knowledge. Wonderful!

Enjoyed all the different things inside and out.

Amazing experience. Fun for the whole family. I loved the large collection of military artifacts. They have rides too. We rode in a 1963 army jeep. Also in a m107 mortar carrier tracked vehicle. There are tons of things to see. We spent 3.5 hours there. Low price to. Definitely a must see.

Very interesting. More than you can see in one visit

Make sure you have all day! So much to see and the front makes it look much smaller than it really is. One of the coolest places Ive ever been. So fun.
