More information on Buckhorn Saloon and Museum
If you like your educational experiences accompanied by a tall cold brew, this is the place for you. With its huge stuffed animals, mounted fish, and wax museum version of history, this collection fulfills every out-of-stater's stereotype of what a Texas museum might be like. To enjoy it best, you have to have an appreciation for cheesiness and a heavy-handed commercialization of the idea of the Old West. It's not nearly as funky as it was when it was in the old Lone Star brewery -- all those dead animals seem out of place in this modern space -- but it's still got such exhibits as the church made out of 50,000 matchsticks and pictures designed from rattlesnake rattles. The facility includes a re-creation of the turn-of-the-century Buckhorn saloon, a curio shop, and a transported historic bar. Lots of people seem to like this place, but others think it's a bit pricey for what you get. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
