Who knew?! This was such a fun place to visit. Elders will remember Ben Johnson in the movies and enjoy the extensive collection of memorabilia. Youngsters will have a great time on the roping steer, in the "jail" and mugging in the cowboy cutout in front of the museum. The Museum Manager Anna Jenkins is a terrific storyteller and so knowledgeable about all aspects of the life and times of "Son" Johnson. Just down the street from the Pioneer Woman's Mercantile and in the area of the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve. Make a day of your trip to Pawhuska, Oklahoma. And don't miss this little gem...

I was blown away by the presentation and professional manner that quite frankly as a local, I can say just isn't found everyday in these parts. Rarely does an exhibit exceed ones expectations, the Ben Johnson Cowboy museum has raised the bar. Did I mention they have a lot of Ben Johnson...
