The Gish Old West Museum is a private museum. Joe Gish has been an avid collector of the old west for many years and has decided to share his museum with enthusiasts. Hours are by appointment. Gish's Old West Museum: 502 N. Milam 830/ 997-2794 Call for an appointment. (If he's in, he'll tell you to come on over.)

Mr. Gish is holding one of his treasures, a Colt from the 1880s.

The small, crowded museum is a gold mine of cowboy lore.

There's no aspect of the old west Mr. Gish hasn't collected, from holsters to badges to saddles to clothing...

Looks pretty overwhelming, doesn't it. Let's look at some of the things in more detail.
