The Exhibit Hall

The Exhibit Hall
This is the Exhibit Hall where we highlight portions of 19th century history not covered in the Main Museum. Inside you'll find one of the best collections of the statuary of John Rodgers in the world. We've also got Temple Lea Houston's beautiful collection of Native American Artifacts, given to him during his travels in Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico by his Acoma, Cherokee and other Native American Friends. There's also a reproduction of Cyrus McCormick's first reaper, a collection of early carpentry tools, and The Guns that Won the West, an exhibit of the early history of firearms.
