Charlie Russell Museum Great Falls Montana

 This is part of the Browning Gun Collection at the Charlie Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana - awesome old guns and pistols and this is about half of them.
 The blue frame house is the Russells in Great Falls - they moved there in 1900.  Next to it the log cabin was built for an art studio, in 1903.  Most of the painting he did after 1903 were done here.
 The governor commissioned a painting for the State Capitol and Charlie had to raise the roof two logs to make the ceiling high enough to paint the large canvas.
 Handsome Harold at the museum gift store.
They have a great interactive area for kids to climb into the teepee and feel the buffalo robes, etc.  Dad wanted this picture so you would all know we are really losing our minds!  It was fun!!
