A very cool place with lots of souvenirs and a large selection of books. The miniature Buffalo Bill Wild West Show is amazing.
Having lived in LeClaire, IA growing up, I was very familiar with the Buffalo Bill stories. Having traveled I-80 a lot, I've always wanted to stop in and visit this location. Nice shop, friendly staff and plenty of information to be found. Worth the ...
What a fun place. The museum was fun and informative. The artistry was very impressive. The gift shop was a lot of fun too. Lots of old school candies...a trip back in time. Well worth the stop!
