The current display of the Museum’s Plains Indian Art Collection is only a fraction of artifacts that ultimately will be exhibited.The Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum is planning a new expansion of exhibit space in two adjacent historic buildings that will bring to life the art and culture of Native American Indian tribes. Our American Indian Art and Culture Gallery will display objects including weaponry, cradles, war bonnets, beaded war shirts, painted parfleche envelopes, illustrations on muslin and other rare and important American Indian artifacts. Also of noteworthy mention are approximately 90 hand-colored stone lithographs from the Folio Edition of the “History of the Indian Tribes of North America” (1836-1844) by Thomas L. McKenney and James Hall, Esq.
