New Souvenir and Gift Items
By admin | July 8, 2009
New items added to our gift shop
Our Summer Season is now well under way, and most visitors to our Museums have a fun time browsing the shelves of our Gift Shop. Many new items have made it into our on-line store, and you can now see them below or at www.pcmaf.org/shop
Some of our more popular items, such as the Homeland Security T-Shirts and Animal Caps, are now back in stock. We also have many items new to our store, such as the range of ‘Yesterday’s Playthings‘ wooden toys and games. These always prove to be a popular alternative to the Playstations, WII consoles and other 21st Century games, and at a fraction of the price. (Kids always have more fun playing with the boxes anyway!)
We hope you enjoy browsing our store, and hope to have the pleasure of seeing you this Summer at our Museums here in Deer Lodge, Montana. Enjoy the rest of your Summer.
