Hubbard Museum and history

If you like museums you need to go to the Hubbard Museum of the American West.

I'm a museum groupie. They are some of the most interesting places to spend your valuable time.








There are so many outstanding displays and you can fill that "wonder what it was like in the Ole West" question that roams around in your mind.











Joel was a Cowboy/Western movie star. How many times do you get to see something that not only belonged to but was used by a movie star?

Guns were a way of life in the ole west. Personally I love seeing any and all guns. Just think how far firearms have come.








This Colt 45 SA (single action revolver) was given to a ranch hand by Billy The Kid.

The knife was his.

Have you been to Lincoln, New Mexico?

Go. It's full of Billy The Kid history.









Commemorative Winchester rifle that was made to pay tribute to Chief Crazy Horse of the Oglala Lakota Sioux.














My wife, Judy, and i both grew up in Rapid City, South Dakota. South Dakota is the homelands of the Lakota and history is everywhere.

Visit the Crazy Horse Memorial.

Go to South Dakota, it's an awesome and very beautiful state.

The museum has so many pieces of the American West for you to see.



















Charles Goodnight was very instrumental in the American West. Among many things he did is credited with inventing the first chuckwagon.



















Goodnight is also responsible for the Loving-Goodnight cattle trail. His home is just East of Amarillo and the city of Claude, Texas is the historical caretaker.


Enjoy your travels and as us bikers say 'keep the rubber side down."
