Frontier Montana Museum
This museum holds two of the finest collections of western memorabilia in the country-the lifelong collections of Don Cappa and Desert John Blomquist. Cappa's collections includes many different types of guns used in the Old West, including the .41 caliber double-action Colt Lightning pistol made famous by Billy the Kid, and the Hammond Bulldog named after Doc Holidays mistress and the guardian angel, Big Nose Kate. In the back of the museum, you'll find Desert John's Saloon, with a bar that dates back to the 1800s, and hundreds of antique liquor bottles dating back to the Civil War.
