Things To Do and See
For History Buffs:
The Plains Indians and Pioneers Museum
This is a visitors must see! The Museum’s permanent collection includes the personal affects of the frontier town’s most famous son, lawyer/gunfighter Temple Houston. Houston’s famous courtroom plea, “The Soiled Dove Plea” in defense of a “fallen woman,” has been upheld by the Harvard Law Review and other legal publications as the perfect closing argument. The museum has recently acquired the gun Houston used in a notorious shoot-out with Ed Jennings.
