With more than 500 firearms, this exhibit tells the story of weapons and their importance to people on the plains. The exhibit features everything from the Cheyenne arrow that pinned the Martin Brothers together in an attack during the raids of 1864, to an exhibit on unique firearms such as a Pen Pistol and Cain Tip gun, and guns of modern warfare.
