River City Renegades at Old Cowtown Museum

03/28/2025

Join us as we kick off a historic season at Old Cowtown Museum, celebrating 75 years of bringing the past to life. Experience the sights and sounds of the 1870s with a day full of special activities, historical reenactments, and hands-on experiences for the whole family.

To commemorate the museum’s establishment in 1950, guests will hear popular music from this decade as they explore the grounds and experience several 1950s-inspired activities, such as popular children’s games from this era and a trivia contest.

MOAB BBQ, Life Gave Me Lemons, and other vendors will be onsite.

A ribbon cutting will take place at the museum’s church, the first building preserved and relocated to what would become Old Cowtown.

Visit with volunteers, staff, and board members to learn about the events we will be hosting this year, purchase a discounted membership, and enjoy exploring the grounds. Find out about sponsorship and volunteer opportunities, too!

Pricing: $15/adult, $14/senior & other discounts, $10/youth, members/free

Gates open at 10 am; last entry at 4pm

After each Dime Novel Skit, we invite visitors to come out and take portraits with us. This day, we were surprised and tickled by these kiddos who arrived dressed for the part.
