The Cowboy Museum — Attraction in Oakdale

I don't know Oakdale very well had enough money to get my daughter a present in plenty of Taco Bell and whatever we felt like being looked for events in oak so the bright side is it's free but it looks like a little antique store so we were in and out but either way appreciated the fact I had somewhere to go inside and show my daughter something that we didn't really care about for free all she cared about was spending time with her daddy on her birthday so thank you I'm only giving the rating that low amount because I wouldn't suggest you go there looking for a good time But you know what I'm not gonna be like that I'm gonna give you the full star rating Because if you're a country boy you'll love this place I noticed they had so many things you could buy for your horses...
