We were expecting a small museum with 2-3 rooms and half a dozen artifacts. We were blown away! This museum is a must see. It is huge. Just in the firearms section, they have over 2000 rifles and pistols. More

Great museum. The Yellowstone portion was very interesting and a good preview of the Park itself. The gun museum has an amazing collection. The Plains Indians exhibit was very interesting. Well worth the visit. More
