- A 1928 Swiss-chalet folk museum built into the rocks of Piute Butte, holding Great Basin native collections

- Homesteader Howard Arden Edwards built his Swiss-chalet home directly into Piute Butte's boulders in 1928, then filled it with Native artifacts — the museum now interprets both the collections and the collecting itself. Open weekends; the folk-architecture interior alone justifies the drive.
