It was an easy drive to the highest point in the state of Kansas. Once you arrive you will see an unbroken 360-degree panorama of ranch and farmland. As a matter of fact, the site is on a private working cattle ranch pasture. So let's go take a look and watch your step!

I figure this museum had been on my bucket list to visit for 60 years until I accidentally discovered it was close to another destination to document a couple of WRCA Ranch Rodeos. Lucky me!
I met Don Sweet the owner, and he agreed to share his story and take us on a personal tour of the part of the museum containing artifacts connected to the infamous old-west outlaw called Billy The Kid. Let's go!

I continued to explore the rest of the museum on my own and found many wonderful artifacts, from the old west days to the rockabilly days.
