There is an art exhibition that features collections from local artists. And finally, there is an exhibition that features yhe history of local Native American tribes to the present day. There is an eatery and a gift shop. Be prepared to pay a hefty price at these places. The admission is well worth it if you take the time to see and read at each exhibit. You could literally spend 2 days to see it all.

The fee was reasonable, and the museum took us about 20 minutes total. The building and exhibits were top notch, and brand new. While the exhibits were not very big, they were educational and gave you information about the big horn basin area. They have an area dedicated to paleontology and one to archeology. I enjoyed getting to do something educational while needing a break, instead of just shopping or doing something mindless. If you are passing through this area, I'd take the time to stop and support this local museum.

When we pulled up it looked really small, but when we got up to it, we saw that it was much bigger. Overall it was a great experience. At Old Trail Town, you will find artifacts from the Old West as well as grave sites of several notable Western figures. You will also find original cabins used by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as well as a Wyoming saloon frequented by Cassidy's "Hole-in-the-Wall Gang". Some of my favorites were the log cabin home of "Curley" a Crow Indian army scout who helped guide Lt Col. George A. Custer and the U.S. 7th Cavalry to the battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876, and the old schoolhouse.
