Description: The Torrington Gopher Museum building contains about 40 dioramas set in neatly constructed wooden boxes, each to represent a gopher hole. Inside the “holes” are all manner of taxidermied gophers, dressed in costumes and carrying on anthropomorphic (human) activities. There is the gopher yard sale, the gopher hairdresser, the gopher mountie, the gopher preacher, and so on. All of it is very witty and enchanting. Is it really world famous? It deserves to be so. A gift shop is attached.
