Bolack Electromechanical Museum

One never knows what the next day will bring and the the Bolack Electromechanical Museum in Farmington NM is definitely a pleasant surprise on this tour- especially for a dedicated engineer like me. The museum is located at the B-Square Ranch, a private wildlife refuge, working farm and home of two museums established by Tom and Tommy Bolack. The collection occupies three large halls as well as considerable outdoor space. Besides of the (most likely) largest collection of pintype glass insulators in the world, several master switchboards of retired power stations as well as thousands of electromechanical devices the “leaning tower of motherboards” (~15 foot tall), several cars, planes and a Southern Pacific 0-6-0 can be found in this astonishing exhibition.
