Fort Wallace Museum
2655 U.S. 40 (just east of Wallace). A big makeover is making this a destination museum. You'll see first-class exhibits about area paleontology; the American Indian connection; and how Wild Bill Hickok, George Custer, and Buffalo Bill Cody put their stamps on the fort's history. A second gallery displays an impressive collection of American Indian and military artifacts amid the striking artwork of western and wildlife artist Jerry Thomas. Visitors can also stroll down a three-quarter scale street facade of the fort and early Wallace. The museum complex includes the 1865 Pond Creek stagecoach station (NRHP), the Weskan depot, a pioneer and agricultural equipment shed, and the 1888 Bethany Lutheran Church. November-March, Thursday-Saturday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. (weather permitting); March-October, Monday-Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Sunday 1-5 p.m.
