Gene Autry

This morning we went to Gene Autry, Oklahoma and toured the Gene Autry Museum.  Gene never really lived here but at some time he bought a ranch near here and hired some local folks to run and operate it for him.  He came often to visit and the folks here named the little town after him.  The museum was mostly movie posters for Gene as well as many other singing cowboy actors.  They also had lots of dime store collectables with his name or image on them including cap guns and holsters, lunch boxes, comic books, tricycles, bicycles, and plastic guitars.  The life sized horse that looks like his horse, Champion, has one of his saddles on it.

I will post our pictures tomorrow when we can go into the town of Sulphur for a better/faster internet connection.
