Gene Autry Museum

Mr. Gene Autry; WWII Veteran, Hollywood Legend in 93 movies, Radio singer , and even a TV star, They even have a little town named after him. This tiny little museum is located in the former post office of Gene Autry Oklahoma, formerly known as Berwin. On of the first things you will see is the massive amount of movie posters hanging on the wall. As I said before, he stared in 93 films, some of these you may recognize, others not so much. One particular one you may recognize, is Riders In The Sky very much related to the song originally sung by Burl Ives.

Now while this museum is primarily about the man Gene Autry and other Singing cowboys, there is a small section dedicated to the actual town. Here you will see an old post office section and some antiques like old cameras and this old 3D viewer

Between these two rooms is a collections of drawings of other famous cowboys including one of my favorite actors. James "Jimmy" Stewart. You may recognize him if you watch It's A Wonderful Life every Christmas.

There is lots of memorabilia dedicated to Mr. Gene Autry as well as other cowboys. Be sure and stop by to check them all out. Now there is a gift shop with some cool stuff in it. Like any other gift shop, they sell T-shirts, mugs, pins, etc. However, you can also buy Oklahoma Centennial Anniversary Belt buckles for you cowboys out there. They are a tad bit expensive so watch out. You can also buy one of the many movies, full restored by the way, Starring Gene Autry, as well as cook books and even a little guitar. The guitar is worth a pretty penny though....$450. Gene Autry Oklahoma may be a small town with less than 100 people in it, but its centered across a Legendary man that has escaped the jaws of death both in the movies and in real life in WWII.
