Great Basin Museum

Delta's town museum on Main Street (US 6/50) covers the area from the Cambrian seas to the cars of the last century. Cases hold trilobites and other early fossils, snowflake obsidian and geodes from the surrounding desert, Fremont and Paiute artifacts, and pioneer household goods. A restored surrey carriage and vintage automobiles round it out.
