Film & Music Festival
The Museum's Film & Music Festival, after 18 years of bringing joy to fans of all things Western, ended with the 2009 event, because of health problems. Click on the appropriate button at left to order videos from the 2008 event.
NEW DISPLAY......
The museum received the Lone
Ranger outfit; shirt, pants, boots, mask and scarf from Donald Cagle
of Clyde, Ohio after he attended as one of the Look - a - likes at
our last Music and Film Festival. It took us awhile to locate
a mannequin that would do the Lone Ranger justice, but now he is in
a display case. The hat was donated by Stanley Rater of Huskey
Hat Company of Wichita Falls, Texas. We are grateful to these
donors for adding to our collection.
