Just like
Knott's Berry Farm, Calico Ghost Town in Yermo California houses some great peek-in scenes. However, they are not quite as whimsical as some of the Knott's ones. They do have some humor, as today's post shows, but their main focus is informing visitors about they way things were during Calico's boom years.
Here we see the town dentist in what appears to be a tough situation. The dentist drill is of the midieval variety, and I would hate to be the man in the chair.
Here is a better shot of the drill. We complain about going to the dentist today, but there's no doubt which era of dentistry I'd rather be in.
The dentist doesn't look too confident in his tools, and doubt his ability is much greater.
How could he do well when his glasses are broken.
Poor, poor, poor old miner. Although these two guys arn't true wax figures, they do have the same spirit and intent as a regular wax museum would.

This is the exterior of the drug store in Calico Ghost Town. Behind the windows lies a small scene of what a shop like this would have looked like back in the silver mining days.
This figure doesn't look much like a pharmacist. Perhaps he is waiting for his medicine.

The medicine bottles sitting on the shelf.
Information on the drug stores in Calico.

This scene at the Calico Ghost Town shows what life in the town was like back when it was a profitable silver mining town. This woman is preparing a meal, and it sure was more time consuming back then. Especially with that huge mane of hair on her head.
A closer look at the figure.
The view from another angle. She is very focused on her job.

And a sign explaining this specific scene.
