  Yet another Old West Museum and probably my favourite of the 3. Memorabilia throughout and artifacts and tales of the old west and better value than some of the others

  Wonderful exhibit of the western culture. Cowboy & Indian artifacts-clothing, saddles, pottery, guns and much more. Little known, but worth finding.

  It's a small museum, but good for a quick visit. And worth the small ($4) admission. There are three floors but they are all small.

  This is a small but well-run museum - clearly the result of years of passionate collecting by an individual. We thought it was a little heavy on the historic military uniforms and guns of all kinds [but others might absolutely love that aspect], and we were also not very interested in the stuffed animal trophies from outside the American West. However, that being said, there are many interesting displays. Don't skip the third floor or lower level!

  We knew about the Nelson Museum of the West from our trip preparation on TripAdvisor but what we actually found far exceeded our expectations.The charge is $ 4 per head - it would be worth more just for the experience.The museum covers 3 floors which includes the basement and there is an elevator.The first item that really touched my inner little boy was that all this cowboy and cavalry stuff is real - including the costumes from Roy Rogers and Dale Evans!The cavalry display was amazing - period uniforms, weapons and equipment from the time the cavalry came into the West thru WWII - just fantastic.The weapons displays are awesome - real cowboy guns!Perhaps you can tell I enjoyed this.Do not fail to visit the Nelson Museum of the West - if you do you will regret it.

  This museum displays several artifacts from the old west. There is a huge variety from guns, clothing saddles, hunting trips, art, law enforcement, military and others subjects. I really enjoyed the Native American Pottery and the collection of some of the smallest guns in the west. There is a cell phone audio tour available. Well worth a visit.

  Five dollars per person will give you access to three floors of an museum that shows the life of a man you has spent it hunting items from many states and countries. It also shows off many other items such as Indian clothing. It doesn't seem like much but it shows a great deal

  We were absolutely amazed at all the memorabilia and antiques displayed in this 3 story museum. Mr. Nelson has dedicated his life to collecting fine examples of Western and American history, some very unique displays. I was dreading another museum for my poor husband, but he was as interested in as many things as I, so we browsed for several hours. The admission fee is very reasonable and I believe the monies are to fund scholarships. The museum was my favorite "thing to do" in Cheyenne.

  Do not miss this museum if you are interested in the Old West.Excellent displays of nineteenth-century military and Indianartifacts.The display descriptions are a delight to read.If you are interested in firearms, ask the receptionist if it is possibleto view the collection across the street which is not usually open to the public.
