There are plenty of reasons people adore museums. Not only are important for preserving history and showcasing unique aspects of various cultures, but they can even capture some quirky and niche parts of American society. There are some exhibits dedicated to mundane things, like bananas and potatoes, to unusual topics such as UFOs and Pez memorabilia.
If you enjoy checking out museums, 24/7 Wall St. has a list for you. The website revealed the "must-visit" museum in every state. According to the roundup, the Colorado Railroad Museum is worth your time in Colorado!
"Railroads, which helped shape Colorado’s history, are the theme of this museum located west of Denver," writers described the location. "The main building, completed in 1959, looks like a 19th-century railroad depot. A 15-acre railyard contains dozens of historic locomotives, passenger trains, and freight cars."
Writers also recommend you drop by the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
Here's how researchers compiled their list of every state's must-visit museums:
"We sifted through rankings of these institutions by various sources, including travel websites. We considered the top museums from these lists for each state and weighed visitor comments. In many cases, we chose museums that offer experiences unique to their environment rather than art collections that might be better-known. These institutions are often less expensive than their more celebrated counterparts, and are sometimes even free."
