Rockpile Museum & Frontier Auto Museum – $15/adult
The Wandler family has been picking, collecting and restoring classic cars, gas pumps, petroleum signs and just about every other relic they can get their bid in on since 1962. The Wandler collection became so big that Jeff Wandler, his daughter and son-in-law opened a museum to display their amazing collection. They didn’t stop there. The Wandler’s have expanded and Frontier Relics & Auto Museum now spans nearly a half block and houses everything mentioned above as well as a complete, early 1900’s barber shop, a coffee shop, a library and a historic hotel front desk. Frontier Relics is an antique-enthusiasts dream come true. They will buy, sell and trade antiques. The attached museum is absolutely a must-see when visiting Gillette. The care and detail the Wandler’s put into their restoration projects is simply breathtaking.
