" Machado Building "

The Machado Building originally housed a drygoods store. It is a wood frame construction built in about 1888. Today, it is the home of a private historical museum that features a considerable number of tools and hardware items. There is also a complete stage coach built in 2000 using traditional methods and original plans.
