We took our guest to the The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum and it is just 5 or 6 miles from our house. My wife and I had not been in 5 or 6 years. They were having the last week of the Prix de West exhibition. A basic artist contest or western art. Some really amazing work. Several pieces I would love to have, only they are 70 grand or more for the ones I like the most.

They still have many other displays, and two of Annie Oakley's guns, and some targets she shot, an amazing collection of real Indian or Native American artifacts. THey have a huge gallery of just guns from the west, and famous guns from western actors. We walked for 1/2 a day and did not see all of the galleries.

It is a really cool place. For many years they were just called the Cowboy Hall of Fame, and that does not represent their collection. They changed the name to The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum partly to have the word museum in the name, and to get accredited as a real museum. That way they can display stuff on loan from the Library of Congress or the Smithsonian. Some of the authentic Civil war and frontier Army uniforms, guns and equipment are just real interesting history.
