If you are there on a weekend, you may find a class for your children or yourself.... More

I loved visiting C.M. Russell's studio. Made me feel he was right there and I could actually visualize him standing their painting at his easel. He was an awesome painter of western culture and scenery. More

We enjoyed the museum and gift shop very much. It was much bigger than I thought it would be. The bonus was the wonderful Kids Room with a teepee, pelts, art supplies and costumes. More
