Front Street Cowboy Museum: Ogallala, Nebraska

The Front Street Cowboy Museum is all about the wild, wild west and driving Texas Longhorn cattle. Located in Ogallala, Nebraska, this visitor attraction brings the town’s rich Old West history to life.

Linda’s Pick of the Exhibits

Like most people, I enjoy a good story. And there are no better stories than the myths of supernatural creatures. In Nebraska, that creature is the Sandhills Warrior Rabbit. The museum even has one in its collection!

The warrior rabbit draws on the the American traditional tale of the Jackalope. These Jackalope tales originate from hybrid animal stories around the world.

Where did the Jackalope tale originate?

One of the earliest stories of a horned rabbit is from 13th-century Persia. The jackalope legend stems from a rare virus called Shope papilloma virus that infects rabbits and causes horn-like keratin tumors to grow. It’s believed that these tumors inspired folklore about horned or “warrior” rabbits.

Scientific research shows that rabbits with these horn-like growths are real but rare. They’re not a distinct species.

But back to the midwest. In 1932 two brothers in Douglas, Wyoming, studied taxidermy by mail order. One day, one of them tossed a carcass they planned to work on into their taxidermy collection where it came to rest beside a pair of deer antlers. That gave young Douglas Herrick an idea.

Doug and his brother mounted the rabbit with horns and sold it to a local hotel owner. From there, the story grew and grew and grew with the brothers’ taxidermy sales. Other taxidermists manufactured the rabbits right into the 21st century.

The jackalope has appeared in books, poems, television shows video games and mokumentaries.

Today, tourists can even buy a Jackalope Hunting License in Douglas.

So, the Nebraska Sandhills Warrior Rabbit is one of a group of tall tale animals. This type of tall tale is known as “fearsome critters” and is common to North American culture since the early 1900s.

Indeed, the warrior rabbit has supernatural powers making it a fierce, resilient animal able to survive in the Sandhills.

If you enjoy fearsome critter tales, The National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum in Hayward, Wisconsin, is home to another fearsome critter — the hodag.

What’s in the Front Street Cowboy Museum?

Front Street in Ogallala, Nebraska, is a replica town of the 1880s old west cowboy town. At the time, Ogallala was a major cattle-driving and cattle-shipping hub.

How did Ogallala become a cattle-shipping hub?

Early in U.S. history, the Chisholm Trail was the trail of choice for driving cattle to the northern states looking for higher prices. The Chisholm Trail ran from the Rio Grande or San Antonio to the railhead of the Kansas Pacific Railway in Abilene. From there, the cattle were shipped to the more populated states in the East.

However, the Chisholm Trail was cut off when farmers began settling and fencing eastern Oklahoma and Kansas. The new Texas Trail (also called Western Trail) grew up from Dodge City to the Union Pacific railhead in Ogallala.

While Dodge City was the end of the trail for some outfits, others with younger stock pushed north to Ogallala. These were sold to ranchers in the area to fatten over the summer and ship out in the fall.

Ogallala became a seasonal gathering place. Saloons were hopping in the spring with Texas cattle bosses selling cattle to local cattlemen. In the fall, action stepped up again as thte ranchers brought their steers off the grass to ship east.

As many as 125,000 head of cattle were brought to Ogallala each year.

Ogallala’s heyday as a cow town ended in 1884, when an epidemic of Texas fever caused heavy losses of cattle in Nebraska. States began to enact quarantine laws to protect their livestock. While a few cattle still trickled into Ogallala, the town soon settled into a farming community.

These connected building fronts are filled with memorabilia and cowboy artifacts from the era. Building fronts include:

Livery Barn Cafe (Restaurant)
Crystal Palace Saloon (Cold Beer in Ogallala’s famed saloon that saw many gunfights in its hey-day)
Front Street Cowboys Rest (Buffalo burgers, mountain oysters, steaks, and more)
Undertaker (Death by gunfights happened on a regular basis to the undertaker’s shop and hearse were important)
Tonsorial Palace (1870s style barber shop)
Jail (includes the Sheriff’s office)
General Store

Front Street is listed on Wikipedia as being on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Keith County, Nebraska.

Some Front Street Displays

Front Street is all about the stories of cowboys, cattle drives, and outlaws. There are lots of different artifacts and photos to bring the stories to life.

Fast Fact: A Black Cowboy Memorial located at Grand Island, Nebraska, honors Amos Harris who died in February, 1911. Thousands of black cowboys rode the rails, driving millions of cattle north. Many of them were the best riders, ropers and wranglers.

Here are some I particularly enjoyed.

Soiled Doves – Saloon Women in Ogallala during the Texas Cattle Drive Days. Photos and displays show their costumes, lifestyles, and challenges working for Madams like “Big Alice.”
Cowboy gear from boots and spurs to holsters and revolvers.
Sheriffs who served the town. One display honors Martin DePriest, a Texan who came up the trail in 1877. He served for 11 years and was injured a number of times. He was known for his deliberate coolness in the face of danger, rather than relying on punches or his guns.
Information about Buffalo Bill Cody.
Native Americans of Ogallala. Various displays provide the history of the local Sioux people.
Trails West features paintings, artifacts, and books written about life on a cattle drive.

You can also relive the Old West watching the Front Street Crystal Palace Revue. With 60+ seasons, it’s the longest-running summer stock theatre in Nebraska.

Linda’s Road Trip Tips

Ogallala in the Sandhills of Nebraska is a great destination for those who love the old west. Geographically, it’s also fascinating. Sandhill dunes cover about 20,000 square miles and are believed to be the largest dune field in the Western hemisphere. They were formed about 8,000 years ago and designated a National Natural Landmark in 1984.

Boot Hill. Pin me!

Be sure to visit Boot Hill while you’re in Ogallala. It was established during the Texas Trail era of the late 1800s.

Some buried there met their end in saloons and gambling halls.

Rattlesnake Ed, who was shot over a card game at the Cowboys Rest Saloon, was one of them.

In direct contrast, you can also visit Mansion on the Hill. This Victorian style home was completed in 1887 — Ogallala’s finest home at the time. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places and worth the visit.

Also, be sure to stop at the Petrified Wood Gallery while you’re in Ogallala. It includes a collection of fossils and hand-crafted petrified wood figures made by Harvey and Howard Kenfieldin. I also found the 92 pewter figures of Native Americans, cowboys, and cavalry soldiers impressive.

Who Should Visit Front Street Cowboy Museum?

Front Street Cowboy Museum is a great stop for anyone interested in the wild and rugged days of the old west and cattle drives.

Indeed, the town was integral to the Lonesome Dove tv miniseries.

It takes a couple of hours to go through the exhibits, although you can spend more time stopping for a meal or drink.

The museum is family-friendly. It also has ramps and flat walkways in the replica 1880s street to aid those using strollers or who have mobility issues.

Standout Ranching History at the MonDak Heritage Center: Sidney, Montana

The MonDak Heritage Center is the “Sunrise City’s” premier history and art museum. It’s located in Sidney, Montana, near the Yellowstone River and North Dakota border.

As with much of Big Sky country, ranching plays a big part in Sidney’s history and culture.

Linda’s Pick of the Exhibits

The Old West has always fascinated me — especially through this part of Montana. I’ve driven the length of the Yellowstone River through the state researching one of my novels, Badlands and Outlaws: Adventure on the Frontier. In the novel, the main character is riding drag behind a herd of cattle, but his eyes are on the hills looking for outlaws.

But back to the museum and its old west artifacts.

While the museum has late 1800s saddles, blacksmith shop, rifles, barbed wire and more, it was the collection of brands that most interested me.

While I didn’t count them all, there are more than 150 brands displayed in the museum. In addition to the information on the brand placards, there’s also a detailed list of the brands.

Fast Fact: Brands were first recorded in 1873 in Montana, with new brand registrations submitted until 1910. The state's historical records include over 100,000 pages of livestock brand registrations compiled by the Brands Enforcement Division of the Montana Department of Livestock.

Brands, of course, are marks used to identify livestock. You may be surprised to know that ranchers weren’t the first to use them. Indeed, ancient Egyptians branded their livestock.

Typically, brands are family heirlooms passed down from generation to generation.

What’s in the MonDak Heritage Center

The MonDak Heritage Center was established in 1984. The building has about 16,200 sq. ft used to display its regional collection and hold its programs.

Settlers began arriving in the area in the 1870s, however, Sidney wasn’t named until 1888. It didn’t incorporate until 1911.

Where did the town of Sidney, Montana, get its name?

The story goes that settlers couldn’t get a post office to receive mail until the growing townsite had a name. Eureka had been their first choice. However, there was already a Eureka, Montana, in the northwestern part of the state close to the Canadian border. So, the townsite needed something different.

Hiram Otis, who was the local Justice of the Peace, was charged with filling out the new application. Now Hiram had a hobby that he loved and that was fishing. He also had a fishing partner he was fond of — a six-year-old boy named Sidney. Sidney and his parents were living with Hiram at the time.

An inspiration hit Hiram while he was filling out the post office application papers. He would call the townsite Sidney.

Starting your tour, you’ll see a great collection of exhibits from the homesteading era.

From washboards to separators (used to separate cream from milk), there’s lots of information on this era.

Different types of barbed wire displayed in the MonDak Heritage Center. Photo by Linda Aksomitis.

And once there were homesteaders there were fences, so the old west was fenced away!

Fast Fact: According to museum information, 500 different patents for barbed wire have been registered! That's important because barbed wire for livestock fences reshaped the old west. The first patent was granted to Michael Kelly in 1868. However, Joseph Glidden's 1874 patent improved it by using a simple wire barb locked into a double-strand wire that's still used today.

Many find the historical “Main Street” exhibit the museum’s standout feature. It recreates the recreates the look and feel of a 1930s town, complete with local stores and businesses. You’ll find everything from soda fountains to gas stations to dentistry.

Natural gas was piped into the Lower Yellowstone Valley in the 1930s. Electricity was provided to area homes by then as well.

And if you’re an art lover, you’ll enjoy the extensive collection of artworks. The collection includes numerous pieces from renowned Western artist, J.K. Ralston. Ralston was inducted into the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame in 2012.

Linda’s Road Trip Tips

This trip began, as our roadtrips often do, in Williston, North Dakota. It’s just 45 miles (72 km) from Williston to Sidney.

While we’ve stayed in a number of hotels in Williston, we highly recommend the Bakken Airport XWA Hotel & Studios.

It’s great value for the dollar, being budget priced and just over a decade old. The only drawback is that it’s eight miles out of the city.

Our favorite place to eat in Williston is at Famous Dave’s
Bar-B-Que. Or, if you’re looking for more of a night out, we like Doc Holliday’s Roadhouse Bar and Grill. The atmosphere is great!

Who Should Visit the MonDak Heritage Center?

The MonDak Heritage Center has an exhibit for everyone! History buffs, of course, will find lots to see.

Pin me!

From cowboy days to their 1930s main street, there are a number of unique exhibits.

Art enthusiasts will find exhibitions from local and regional artists in addition to permanent collection works by renowned artist, J.K. Ralston. Exhibitions rotate, so there’s always new artwork to see.

The center also offers lots for locals including art classes and camps for all ages. Their Youth Art Show and MonDak Christmas are popular annual events.

Cultural events, including live music performances and theater productions also bring visitors to the museum.

Part of the collection is dedicated to research library and archives. So, anyone interested in local historical and genealogical research will find the museum a great resource.

How Do You Visit the MonDak Heritage Center?

The MonDak Heritage Center in Sidney, Montana is considered the best museum in the area for its focus on the region’s history, art, and culture.

Parking: There's lots of free street parking.

Location: 120 3rd Avenue Southeast, Sidney, Montana.

Admission to the MonDak Heritage Center is free. You can check days and hours open on the MonDak Heritage Center website.

Lafayette Science Museum: From Dinosaurs to the Space Age in Louisiana

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette Science Museum blends education with interactive fun, making it an excellent attraction. Covering all kinds of “science,” the museum highlights Louisiana’s unique natural history and cultural heritage.

Linda’s Pick of the Exhibits

If there’s a dinosaur involved, I’ll pick it every time! So, my favorite exhibit at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Science Museum is the Paleontology exhibit. Their archive has nearly 150,000 specimens, so there’s a lot to see!

An Albertosaurus (the large dinosaur) checking out a Herrersaurus for lunch. Photo by Linda Aksomitis.

The rarest fossils at the Lafayette Science Center are those of a Megatylopus. What’s a megatylopus? Basically, it’s an ancient giraffe-like fossil camel that stands 12 to 14 feet tall. This skeleton is the most complete known of for this type of giant from the Late Miocene to Pliocene epochs.

Fast Fact: This megatylopus was discovered in 2014 in Oregon. Two technologies were used to excavate the skeletons. 1) 3D laser scan of the site before excavations. And 2) Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to discover other bones beneath the surface.

When was Pliocene Epoch? About 13.6 to 1.8 million years ago, so almost yesterday in world history!

Here are some of the exhibits I found most intriguing:

Fossil casts from the late Jurassic Period or Age of Dinosaurs: Allosaurs, Camptosaurus, and Stegosaurus. Time period: 199 to 145 million years ago.
Mastodon and mammoth fossils that first appeared in the Miocene epoch, around 24 to 5 million years ago when they diverged from other elephant-like relatives
Saber-tooth tiger remains from the Pleistocene epoch about 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago.

Killer teeth models for prehistoric dinosaurs. Photo by Linda Aksomitis.

Fast Fact: Ancient animals needed killer teeth as illustrated above. Allosaurus teeth had a wider gap, so it could open its mouth at a 92-degree angle. Albertosaurus teeth had features that helped spread strain from biting and feeding to protect the tooth from breaking. Tyrannosaurus may have had it all. Its large, sharp, strong teeth could regrow every few years. It needed to, as the Tyrannosaurus bite force helped it crush bones while snacking!

And of course, there’s also a Prehistoric Louisiana or Ice Age Acadiana exhibit. It has fossils from sites like Jefferson Island, Avery Island and Acadia Parish. As you’ll learn, during the Pleistocene, Louisiana’s landscape was very different than it is now.

What was the Pleistocene Era like?

The Pleistocene Era is the geological epoch that lasted from about 2,580,000 to 11,700 years ago. It spanned the Earth’s most recent period of repeated glaciations. Humans first appeared during this period.

You can learn more from the YouTube video, The Pleistocene Era.

The Pleistocene Epoch was basically an ice age. You can learn more at this PBS article on the Pleistocene Epoch.

What’s in the Lafayette Science Museum?

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette Science Museum is situated in downtown Lafayette. It has over 10,000 square feet of exhibition space.

Giant Nile crocodile from Mozambique — exhibition panels tell its story. Story boards also explain how to tell crocodiles from local, Louisiana alligators. It’s really all about their snouts and teeth!

Started in 1969, it was first named the Lafayette Natural History Museum and Planetarium. In 1992 the museum relocated to the downtown to be more accessible. It became the Lafayette Science Museum in 2009, then the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Science Museum in 2022.

Fast Fact: How hot is hot? A geology exhibit explains it's really hot -- from 0 to 800 degrees Celsius! Hydrothermal minerals form at the Earth's surface, like the travertine you see in the pools at Yellowstone National Park. Water heating underground is what makes Old Faithful erupt.

The Exhibits

There are lots of amazing exhibits in addition to the Paleontology area. Here are some.

Virtual Reality Laboratory Experience. The eight stations immerse visitors in diverse adventures such as exploring outer space or the depths of the ocean.
Petroleum Industry Exhibit. Artifacts and signage detail the history of the petroleum industry.
Ethnographic Collection. Here, artifacts represent the diverse cultural communities of Acadiana and Southeast Louisiana.
Nanotechnology Exhibit. This interactive exhibit uses hands-on displays to introduce visitors to nonoscale science, engineering, and technology.
The Crawl Space. This interactive exhibit has — you guessed it — live terrariums with all kinds of bugs.
Planetarium. This second floor attraction has a 40 ft (12.2 meter) dome and seats 72 people. It shows various live and prerecorded programs included in your regular museum admission.

Fast Fact: The British were the first to use rockets in the New World. Indeed, they used them against the United States in the War of 1812. The rockets inspired the phrase "rockets' red glare" in the lyrics in the Star Spangled Banner.

Linda’s Road Trip Tips

I’ve visited Louisiana many times (it’s one of my favorite states), but didn’t spend time in Lafayette until this trip. Years earlier, we’d been driving through and got caught up with the Mardi Gras day parade. That day, we ate in one of my favorite Southern chains, Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores. Try the biscuits. They’re delicious.

During my last five day stay, I attended a conference at the Cajundome, so had lots of time to explore. I enjoyed my stay at the Hilton Garden Inn, opposite the Cajundome. While most of my meals were at the conference, I found great authentic local dishes at the Acadian Superette. Do try their boudin — it’s amazing!

Even though Lafayette is just a small city of around 122,000, there’s lots to do. If you’re visiting with kids, their Children’s Museum of Acadiana is a perfect stop. I even enjoyed the colorful centers and activities.

And if you want to learn more about the local culture, the living history Vermilionville Village is perfect.

On an earlier trip I also took part in the Atchafalya Basin Landing swamp tours. If you’re a first-timer to Louisiana, a swamp tour is a must!

Who Should Visit the Lafayette Science Museum?

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette Science Museum is one of those museums that has something for everyone.

Pin me!

It’s a great stop for families and children. All of the interactive hands-on installations are both fun and educational.

Of course, schools and educators are frequent visitors.

For those interested in Louisiana culture, you’ll learn a lot here about the natural history.

And if you love stars, the museum’s state-of-the-art planetarium has the highest-resolution screen in Louisiana.

The museum is fully accessible for families and those with other physical challenges. I spent about three hours to explore the exhibits, but wasn’t able to stay for the show at the planetarium.

How Do You Visit the Lafayette Science Museum?

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette Science Museum is situated in downtown Lafayette. It’s surrounded by various amenities.

Parking: Visitors can find metered street parking. There are also parking garages nearby: Parc-Auto du Centreville at 121 E. Vermillion Street and the South Buchanan Street Garage at 809 South Buchanan Street.

Museum street address: 433 Jefferson St., Lafayette, Louisiana

The Lafayette Science Museum is open year-round. However, you’ll need to check days and hours open at the museum website.

The buzz about the possible TikTok ban has been pretty consistent from what I’ve seen in social media, but it seems like most people don’t get why it’s happening.

One post on Mastodon I read said that it was a way for the government to alienate GenZ, and I thought – is this network really such a big deal? Anecdotally, I know quite a few people who peruse TikTok, and I shake my head because I explain why it’s not a great social network to use. In fact, the reasons not to use TikTok are pretty much the same as why people shouldn’t be using Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter X, and whatever else is out there: They want to know your habits, as I wrote.

In that regard, if TikTok is used so exclusively by GenZ, it’s easy to imagine lobbyists from the big social network companies might push for TikTok being banned. That is likely, since all that data on GenZ isn’t in their hands and they believe it should be. But it goes a bit deeper.

…U.S. officials fear that the Chinese government is using TikTok to access data from, and spy on, its American users, spreading disinformation and conspiracy theories...
“Congress approved a TikTok ban. Why it could still be years before it takes effect.“, Rob Wile and Scott Wong, NBCNews, April 23rd, 2024

That’s fair. We have enough domestic (American) disinformation and conspiracy theories during a 2024 election, we don’t need other governments doing their own to their benefit, as happened in 2016 with Russia.

Interestingly, and perhaps unrelated, the U.S. Senate passed a bill renewing FISA, which makes discussion about a ban of any foreign social media a little awkward.

…“It’s important that people understand how sweeping this bill is,” said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., a member of the Intelligence Committee and outspoken proponent of privacy protections. “Something was inserted at the last minute, which would basically compel somebody like a cable guy to spy for the government. They would force the person to do it and there would be no appeal.”…
“Senate passes bill renewing key FISA surveillance power moments after it expires“, Frank Thorp V, Sahil Kapur and Ryan Nobles, NBCNews, April 20th, 2024.
Articles about FISA are very revealing – but people who are focused on the TikTok ban alone are missing some great information. This article by Hessie Jones on Forbes puts together some pretty great quotes. so much so I won’t quote it and point you at it: “Data Privacy And The Contested Extension Of FISA, Section 702” (April 23rd, 2024).

You see, it’s not just about foreign data:

“…Under FISA’s Section 702, the government hoovers up massive amounts of internet and cell phone data on foreign targets. Hundreds of thousands of Americans’ information is incidentally collected during that process and then accessed each year without a warrant — down from millions of such queries the US government ran in past years. Critics refer to these queries as “backdoor” searches…“
“Senate passes, Biden signs surveillance bill despite contentious debate over privacy concerns“, Ted Barrett, Morgan Rimmer and Clare Foran, CNN, April 20th, 2024.

So, what’s feeding generative artificial intelligences? Why, you are, of course, with everyone’s social network ‘allowing’ you to do so.

The TikTok ban will likely be fought in court for years, anyway, and who knows what direction it will take depending on who wins the election?

But social networks and companies will still be hoovering that data up, training artificial intelligences all about you. It will help train algorithms to sell you stuff and influence you to make decisions.

TikTok ain’t the issue.
