Monday, because my cowboy friend from Chandler recommend it, I went to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. I paid the $12.50 entrance fee to the fine gentleman up front and mozy’d on in.
There’s a lot of framed artwork on the walls, some very impressive pieces, but you can’t take pictures of them. The following six photographs are from the museum’s website:


Everything else is photographable.

If you have children they have a special area for them to enjoy. The following six photographs are also from the museum’s website:

They also have, indoors, a replica of a town they call Prosperity Junction, set in the 1890’s, at nightfall, designed to give you a feel of what it was like to live in that time and place with all the sights and sounds, but not the smells.

I hope you always drink upstream from the herd.

The gam continues…

    It’s really cool that there are so many little museums across the country. People have collections of things that grow into exhibits to share. We usually never make a point to travel to see them, but they are like special found treasures along the way. Thanks for finding and sharing them.
