With 4000 square feet of indoor exhibit space, the museum showcases the history and heritage of the city through permanent and changing galleries that explore a variety of historic, artistic, and cultural themes. Visitors can also enjoy outdoor train tours and explore the historic Glendale Schoolhouse. Through artifacts and exhibits, the museum tells the story of the rapid changes that northern Nevada has undergone, from ranching and mining to the introduction of the railroad and into modern times.

The museum is supported by donations and memberships, and funding has been provided by Nevada Humanities through Congress and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
