Some of the Indian artifacts that were collected. The pottery is quite beautiful.

Hand-woven rugs also made by the Indians.

As the small sign says, these are snowshoes for the horses. Again, voodoo strikes again (my photo doesn't look like this).

This is a replica of a cowboy line cabin. It was fully stocked with food and fuel, etc. so if a cowboy stopped by here and used the facilities, he was expected to restock everything he used.

An old-time barber shop (on the wall inside the case are several sizes of different shaving blades).

A dentists chair complete with drill, etc.

Various sizes of barbed wire 

Some of the different china, teapots, etc.


Some of the statutes and artwork

The guide told us that back then male babies/young boys were dressed in dresses to disguise them as girls because if attached by the Indians, the males would be killed so that they would not grow up and harm the Indians (ergo the girls weren't always killed). 

Handgun Collection

Individual Leather postcards that were stitched together.

Collection of different canes (only one of them was not actually used as a cane because it was made out of glass). Can you spot it?  It's the 10th one from the top

An old Singer sewing machine.

This is a collection of bridal trousseaus of yesteryear

The rest of the room

A collection of fans and hats are in the case.
