The Last Tip of My Hat

Rodeo time in Houston means the spirit of the wild west has arrived at the Museum.

Get an up-close look at how we give our cowboys and cowgirls a proper sendoff with The Last Tip of My Hat. Highlights include a classic-style pine coffin outfitted with features representative of Western heritage, capturing the true pioneer essence.

This annual exhibit is sponsored by Cowboy's Last Ride and will be on display from February 13 - March 31. For more information about our exhibit sponsor, visit www.cowboyslastride.com.
