Live the Good Life for Less & Never Miss a Deal

Cowtown Birthday Party & Start of the Season Party

Sharing is caring!

Old Cowtown Museum is kicking off a historic season to celebrate its anniversary, and it’s a deal worth marking on the calendar. This special event invites guests to step back into the 1870s with immersive historical reenactments, hands-on activities, and family-friendly entertainment that brings the Old West to life.

In honor of the museum’s founding in 1950, the day also features nostalgic 1950s-themed fun, including popular music from the era, classic children’s games, and a lively trivia contest.

Food vendors will be on site serving up local favorites, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the museum’s historic church—the very first building preserved and relocated to Old Cowtown—adds to the day’s significance.
