Dallas's 150 year old piano

EP woke up just as we hit a town with multiple museums.  We browsed a few (they cost money), before we found the Powell County Museum (it was free).  Dallas super enjoyed looking at a piano that was shipped overland over 150 years ago (and was shaped like a square).  I found an exhibit where someone had made miniatures of various animal drawn conveyances (i.e. horse drawn wagons).  There were way more types than I ever could have imaged.  Outside, they had marked the golden spike where the northern route of the transcontinental railroad was completed in 1909.   The train engine I took a photo in front of had been built for the Soviet Union but was blocked by being shipped because Pres Truman because of the Berlin Airlift Crisis.  It was also very large and incredibly powerful.  We continued on to sunshine and more beauty from Montana.

Someone asked me to take pictures of pretty people from the past
