Merriam's Drug Store, Westcliffe, Colorado, as seen in the early 1900s. When Merriam's store closed, the merchandise and fixtures were packed and stored in the basement of Merriam's building in downtown Westcliffe. In 1958, the contents were purchased  and set up in a building that was a replica of the original store, in South Park City Historical park in Fairplay, Colorado. This is said to be one of the most extensive collections in the country of patent medicines and other common drug store items, from the turn of the previous century. Anna Rose Barry Photo, 2009
