Activities while supplies last. Lunch space is available on a first-come, first-served basis. For questions, email education@nationalcowboymuseum.org.
How to Register?
The Cowboy is NOT using their link for scheduling school tours. The museum is now completely open, and registration is unnecessary. We do ask that you take a minute and visit with the Museum and the HSOK Staff who will be at the event to learn more about both organizations.
