The Museum Thrift Shop building was completed July 15, 1911. It was originally located across from the Western Pacific Railroad depot and served as the Nevada Hide and Junk Company. It is an 18 foot X 35 foot building with it's original shiplap siding and boomtown front. This building also served the early settlers and travelers as a hay, feed and grain store and bears witness to early wagon travel from the mining regions north and freight teams heading for the railroad. It typifies an early feed store. It was moved from the old Haviland and Hoskins addition, to the Museum campus and opened July 4, 1985 and today operates as The Museum Thrift Shop. Donations of clothing, housewares, toys and retro items are accepted with the proceeds benefiting the Humboldt Museum. Sign reads Museum Thrift Shop, hay, feed & grain, M. Greinstein, prop.l |
