National Cowboy Museum is a Hoot

If you love watching Westerns, or are just into boots and hats, we have to recommend the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. Located right in Oklahoma City, you'll find one of the most impressive collections of Frederic Remington sculptures in the country here, as well as tons of Native American Art, and of course a Fine Arms exhibit, featuring all the guns you dreamed about as a kid watching cartoons.

Don't miss the stunning End of the Trail: and 18-foot sculpture in the museum's entranceway, which it rescued from severe deterioration from a CA city park. Stroll the 18-acre grounds and check out the region-specific flower beds and fountains.

Plan to go the weekend of Oct 20-22, and you'll be there for the Rodeo Historical Society's Induction and Honors ceremony. It doesn't get much more cowboy than that.
