Frisco Depot Museum — Attraction in Hugo

I wish I could give this museum a glowing review. The staff was very welcoming and that's the best part of the place. Okay, so it's a free museum but it desperately needs some curating.

They have made a museum out of it of circuses (all the circuses used to be based in Hugo) on the bottom floor and The Harvey Girls rooms on The 2nd floor. The restaurant has reopened and that is nice, but it has potential to be...
