The National Cowboy Museum & Western Heritage Museum offers many educational opportunities. It is in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Here you celebrate the contributions of men and women of the American West including explorers, Native American leaders, writers, poets and politicians. You can see the world's largest collection of American rodeo, photographs and saddlery.
The Museum includes three Halls of Fame, including The Hall of Great Westerners for actual people who lived through the frontier era to present. Other halls include the Hall of Great Western Performers, for actors, and the Rodeo Hall of Fame.
There is so much to see here so I will just focus on just one part the Hall of Great Western Performers which is a large exploration of interpretations of the West in books and in film. It includes the John Wayne collection of personal firearms, artwork, and memorabilia.
Hands-on activities have been incorporated into educational programs for elementary school children, and junior and high school students enjoy a guided tour of the Museum.
Reservations are required for all group visits.
