This is the first of the 7 pictures posted from the Western Pioneer Museum in Douglas Wyoming.

It is a great museum with numerous displays and stories about cowboys, indians, gunfighters, world war I heros, world war II heroes, Italian Prisoners of war, German Prisoners of war, Prisoners of War helping with the harvests, guns, saddles, horses, wagons, carriages, clothing, household items, battles between the cattlemen and the sheepmen and everyother interesting thing that happened in the west.


I call this statue "Mountain Man Hunting for a Wife".

This is the rear view of the Mountain Man heading home with his new bride.
Don't you women just love a man who knows what he wants and knows how to get it.
It should be noted that it was against the rules for a Mormon Pioneer Man to court a wife in this manner.

This is a real fine bar used in one of the area saloons. I believe it was made in Boston and shipped across the plains.

Look at this great tin bath tub. Cowgirls never had it so good.

This is the re-created kitchen from the cowboy cabin home in the museum.

This is a re-creation of a sitting room in an early cowboy cabin home.
This is the last of the 7 pictures posted from the Western Pioneer Museum in Douglas Wyoming. However, I have many many more pictures from that museum. Contact me if you want to see them.
