Sunday morning we headed over to the Museum. What an excellent museum it is. It’s 5 different museums under one big roof. It took us a few hours and we just toured the Buffalo Bill, Plains Indians, and the Gun sections. Bill was quite a character! And I guess he must have been one of the first “hoarders” as there is so much stuff packed into that section, it’s truly an amazing exhibit.
I was intrigued by the gun section. I had never, ever thought there were that many different types of guns. The oldest was from around 1609, a Blunderbuss, all the way to an AR16. Along the way are so many six shooters, rifles, shotguns and machine guns your head will spin. There were even a couple of Gatling guns from the civil war. The most amazing thing was that most of those guns were in pristine condition. There were several thousand guns. They even had some of the tiniest Derringers that you could put in your vest pocket!
There was also a collection of President Roosevelt’s rifles and shotguns from his years living in the west.
