On a long term loan from Phil Huff's Family the President Lincoln Collection is the Premier exhibit at the Museum.
The Lincoln room holds one of the countries finest Lincoln memorabilia collections ever. This museum is living proof
of what a growing community can when they all work together. With the present 5000 sq. ft. building full the plans are to add 4500
more before the current year comes to a end.

Included in the future growth they are also designing a "Main Street Pahrump Display" which will feature many of the old
buildings of significance to the area. Here is the Pahrump General Store which is now on the museum's property.

Outside of the building there is 10 bronze statues showing some of the best craftsmanship I have ever seen. These statues
were donated by the Harvwest Festival Committee. These unique statues allow for many photo opportunities and provide a pleasant atmosphere where you can spend time just reflecting.

There is a wonderful example of the southwestern gardens which the Master Gardner and the Desert Garden Club maintains. You will find this outside
in front along the fence. Many people spend time photographing the outstanding display. On my next trip I will get photos of this area. I just got wrapped up in everything else a spaced out on this one. Also along with the cactus garden there is a cotton patch on the west side. The cotton patch is to give everyone who visits the opportunities to see the crop that was one of the stellar plantings that were successful here in the desert.
Mr Tim Hafen provided the gardeners with 40 year old seeds. When planted they had no idea of what was to happen. But believe it or not they picked cotton last year. This year they hope to harvest the crop and teach the 4-H Club members how to pick, comb & card and spin thread the cotton.
