“Buffalo Robe”

One of the artifacts housed in the museum is an authentic painted buffalo robe. We have recently had this robe replicated and are very proud of the results. The theme for the 2014 season is “Year of the Buffalo Robe”. We will have the original robe and the replication on display for the season.
