Review №1

Very small place with a focus on only one man who had a connection with Buffalo Bill Cody. It is an old converted fire station, but there is barely any history about the station. Aside from one saved fire truck that was passed over.The tour I got was heavily one sided in favor of white settlements. Native American tribes were described to me as Indians to be domesticated. The guide wasnt shy about his distaste and disappointment that some settlers married women from native tribes.He made it a point to skirt around evidence that some settlements and farms in the area were built and maintained with the work of slaves. When I hinted to that, I was ignored. In that museum, the narrative is that black people and other minorites living in historical times were not worth the effort of research.
