This place is really quiet and my kids thougt it was really boring. If you like to look at cowboy paintings, this is for you. If you have small children, take them to the zoo instead. They would rather go to the dentist!

This museum is a place that you can take your whole family and be able to see alot of the old western artifacts. This is definately one of the best museums I have ever taken the kids to. The price to get in is good and the place is kept so clean and it looks beautiful inside. They have items from back in the old country days like the barbed wire and the old basin washing items. Great place.
