The museum also includes displays representing the Native Americans that have inhabited the area for thousands of years, and the pioneers and homesteaders that took up residence in the area in the last 150 years. Also notable in the local collection are the infamous outlaws that roamed the area, most notably, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and the notorious Kid Curry and the Wild Bunch.
