Crook County Museum, Sundance Wyoming

Downtown Sundance Wyoming has some really neat old buildings, and a stuffed to the gills museum.  Steve, Anne-Marie and I toured the downtown of Sundance yesterday, late morning, and finished with lunch at a local restaurant.

The old stone Sundance Bank building attracts a lot of attention from the visitors, as does the old school building.  The Sundance Kid is portrayed by this statue, just outside of the Crook County Courthouse.  Sundance got his nickname from his jail time in Sundance, from stealing a horse, saddle, and gun.

The Museum is in the basement of the Courthouse, and many of the exhibits are staged in small rooms, shown here is a portrayal of a ranch hands bunkhouse, and a kitchen-front room of a ranch house.

There was a display of items recovered from the Vore Buffalo Jump site, and many many arrow and spear points.




The country store had thousands of vintage items.

Today will be a travel day for Steve, as well as Anne-Marie and I.  Steve is moving to Sturgis, South Dakota, and Anne-Marie and I are needing to get closer to our daughter, Sara in Illinois, so we will travel a little further into South Dakota, perhaps Wall, South Dakota.  Our paths have crossed and uncrossed every year, and Anne-Marie and I have had many high energy tours with Steve, and we are looking forward to crossing paths again, before winter.
