Old Cowtown Museum is a fantastic place to visit. Very friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. Especially loved the performances by the Entre' Nous Club Victorian Dancers.

Wife and I went to the Old Cowtown Museum on a Friday morning. It wasn't busy at all. We were able to explore everything at our own pace which took quite a while and every minute of it was fascinating. This museum was right up our alley and we were like kids at Disneyland at Old Cowtown. We can't wait to come back again.

This is a gem! What an incredible journey back in time. It this 1800 town was so amazing. It was 102°the day we went so we thought the kids would not want to stay long. We were there 2 hours and they all wanted to stay longer. Take a picnic and make it a day. It's well worth the time and money. Kids ages 5,8, 10,11,13,18
