Don King pictured with a Sheridan-style saddle he developed. The museum houses hundreds of unique saddles and memorabilia of the Wild West.
King's Museum developed from the artistry and handwork of master leather craftsman Don King who developed his own style, "the Sheridan Style" saddle.
As a boy, King followed his father, a working cowboy throughout the west. He sought out master leather craftsman throughout the west and opened his own business in 1961. Over the years, demand for his work exceeded output and Don quickly became known as one of our country's premier saddle makers.
King's collection of memorabilia now makes up King's Museum. These collections are impressive, as are its presentation. Among the many items exhibited are: a Pre-Civil War Conestoga saddle, a Japanese saddle tree found in a tomb lcoated in a cave above the town of Naha on the island of Okinawa during World War II. It is believed the saddle dates back to the 17th century.The museum provides a picture of the Old West through the artwork, silverwork, saddles and Native American collections presented. The museum is open Monday through Saturday 8 AM to 5 PM.
