Last Friday was my day off. We had family business to attend to in Oklahoma City so made the trek down the Turner Turnpike. After we had our business done we visited the The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. It used to be called the “The Cowboy Hall of Fame” and that is what almost everybody in Oklahoma calls it but you know times change.
The “End of the Trail” sculpture right at the entrance is huge, beautiful, and haunting. I never get tired of looking at it.
I love their Abraham Lincoln sculpture.
They have a huge collection of western art and lots of information about western life and cowboy culture. I love this cavalryman and his horse in full charge.
I am always looking for new things. I had never noticed this blanket before.
If you find yourself in Oklahoma City with a few hours to spare and are interested in all things western then go check it out.
I would love to visit the Cowboy Hall of Fame (as it was once officially called). That blanket is amazing!
What a fun trip and great shots for OWT ~ ‘Cowboy Up’ as they say ~ happy week to you ~ ^_^

Great shots of a fun trip indeed!! I love these!! The statues are awesome and so is this blanket!! Terrific captures and yours get better by the day!! Hope you and your family have a wonderful week!
You were in your element, Yogi. No cowgirl photos this year?
We would enjoy this. We were talking about states we haven’t seen enough of and Oklahoma is way up there on the list. (We’ve ‘slept’ there — RVing — and seen some of the pretty sights, but not nearly enough.
I’d love to visit this museum one day! The memorial blanket for 9-11 is beautful
What a great place – love that first shot!
Looks like an interesting place to visit.
I love the End of the Trail sculpture. So poignant, so sad.
