The massive Booth Western Art Museum is said to be the largest permanent exhibit of Western art in the United States. Works in the Booth span the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Areas of the museum include contemporary Western art, Civil War art, Native American artifacts and an interactive children’s gallery. The Presidential Gallery includes photographs and signed letters from 43 United States presidents. A theater screens “The American West” film throughout the day.
» In late October, thousands head to the Booth for what is reportedly the largest Western themed event in the South, offering a snapshot of the Old West through costumed gunfight re-enactments, Native American dancing, art-related events and more.
