This historic building is in the locale of the Pulitzer Prize winning book - Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner.

In the museum are some old photos of and wood-cut prints by the actual woman who was the model for Stegner's character. She was an author and illutsrator, a genteel, Quaker-raised woman formthe East who accompanied her mining-engineer husband West in late 19th and ealry 20th Century. From the fragments of her work and his own imagination,Stegner constructed a magnificent work exploring the nature of the effects of the old west onthe character and lives of good, though flawed people.

I just searched it on ebay and there are several copies on auction there. You can also get it from Amazon.com. It is a wonderful read!
