IK04 and Greg has it right, it's a Bushmaster 2000. There was one in the Golden Wings Museum just 3 mile from me in MN, if it's still there.

I don't want to split hairs here, but the decade is 1960's, so . . .

There was a second Bushmaster 2000, built in 1985. Here it is at Montgomery Field, San Diego, around 1991:
And the same airplane at Fullerton CA in 2002:
This is what happened to it when it took off in 2004 with control locks in place:

Great answers!
The one pictured is supposed to be the only remaining Bushmaster from the sixties. It has only been at our museum about four or five months. It might have come from the Golden Wings museum. The story I was told is that they built two in the sixties with the ambition to build a hundred for bush planes. Someone flew one of them without removing the gust locks and destroyed it which killed the program.
The Bushmaster has bigger engines and more modern instruments and avionics including outboard engine gauges in the panel instead of on the pylons.
This one is flown regularly as is the real, original Trimotor in the collection.
