Buckhorn Saloon and Museum

It all started in 1881 when trappers, hunters and cowboys traded deer antlers for beer or whiskey at Albert Friedrich's saloon. Now, the saloon/museum's Hall of Horns, Hall of Feathers and Hall of Fins house not only the largest, but also some of the most impressive collections of native and exotic wildlife around.

If you're squeamish about mounted deer heads, fish and fowl, then don't go. If you're awed by how large deer antlers can grow to be, by just how large of a mouth that a large-mouth bass can have, or at the wingspan of native turkeys, then you'll love this place.

You can even bring in a set of antlers or a stuffed fish to trade at the bar for a whiskey or sarsaparilla.

Admission is $9.99 for adults, $7.95 for children ages 6-12 and seniors. Children younger than 6 are admitted for free.
