Cleo's Ferry Museum

While my parents were in town, we went on an adventure to an obscure museum outside of Nampa.

Cleo and her husband (a retired doctor) bought the Ferry museum property many years ago and began turning it into thier sanctuary. Cleo was a big fan of bronze statues, bird houses, and inspirational sayings. What once began as a museum dedicated to the ferry that once ran across the Snake River, has become a museum to yard art and spirituality.
We had a fun time exploring the homemade rock buildings that house antique medical equipment, furniture and toys. Also on the property are several peacocks and swans.


We walked a nature trail that was about a mile long. The hundreds of birdhouses and signs were my favorite. Kendall loved the fairy garden. My parents were impressed with the huge collection of bronze statues. Bryson thought the bell was pretty cool.
