On Friday we went to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. There are 5 museums on the grounds surrounded by gardens. For $15.00 you gain entrance to all 5 museums for 2 days. This is an amazing place. Well worth the admission price. There is no way to see it all even with the two days included in the fee. The collections are incredible. The amount of research and documentation is almost over-whelming.
Yesterday we went into the Whitney Gallery of Western Art, then the Plains Indian Museum. We took a break, came home for lunch and went back and did the Buffalo Bill Museum and started the Draper Museum of Natural History. Our energy ran out and we decided to start over today. This morning after breakfast at Bubba's ..(oh how we wished it was "OUR Bubba's breakfast"...we went back. We went back to the Draper Museum of Natural History, then went into the gardens to look at all of the sculptures there. The last museum was the Cody Firearm Museum. We did this one a bit fast as we didn't have a great interest in it. Although parts of it were interesting since they displayed not only guns from as early as 1550, but also had a brief film about how guns have changed over the years. We finally decided we'd had enough and came back to the house. Tomorrow we're going into Yellowstone. It is about a 50 miles drive to the East entrance. Then about another 50 miles or so to get to Ole Faithful geyser. We've got to go there...I think it must be required..right?? Anyway. Bye for now. Deb
