The Range Riders Museum started accepting donations in 1938 and it looks like they decided to display every single thing! The main museum rambles through 20 rooms (visitors receive a map with a path marked so that they don’t miss anything) with six additional buildings to catch the overflow. Anything to do with ranching, pioneer life, and Native Americans has found a spot in the museum including some strange stuff like an 80 pound ball of gumbo mud removed from a cow’s hoof and a collection of mammoth bones.
The museum is partly accessible. Some of the ramps between the rooms are very steep. A mockup of a frontier main street has viewing windows located too high and no ramp to the boardwalk. Three diorama displays have high walls making it impossible to see them from a seated position. The officer's quarters building has steps and no ramp. The wagon depot has a big dip in the concrete just inside the entrance.
The parking lot is large enough for any RV. Museum
