Steve is in heaven here. We visited 3 of the Buffalo Bill museums. Of course, the first one was the fire arms exhibits. It's the largest collection of fire arms, probably in the world. We saw 1500 guns and the last sign said there were 1200 on the lower level. Even Steve said he had seen enough...whew!
Buffalo Bill was an interesting character. I wish Ashley had been here because she read a few biographies of Annie Oakley as a young girl. There was an entire exhibit of her.
We finished our visit in the art museum. My favorite were the Russell exhibits. Some of the coolest parts were the letters he wrote to friends. Each of them had a mini-painting or drawing on them. I would love to receive a letter like that. You can see an example on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Charles-Russell-Word-Painter-1887-1926/dp/0810937646
After the museum, we visited the Irma Hotel where a C&W band was playing on the front porch. We spent a couple of hours listening to them. It was relaxing and fun! We even danced a bit.
Finally, we ended our day with a thick, juicy steak at Cassies, a building with lots of history. |
