The Buckhorn Museum, just a few blocks away from the Alamo in San Antonio TX, is, quintessentially, “Texas.” Guns, hunting, cowboys, lawmen, outlaws, more guns….about the only thing it doesn’t have is an oil well.
According to legend, the “museum” began when the Buckhorn Saloon, way back in frontier days, started accepting deer antlers and cow horns as payment for drinks, which were then displayed around the bar. Over time, the collection expanded into guns, taxidermy animals, and other things. The result is the Buckhorn Museum, an eclectic conglomeration of all sorts of oddities and historical relics.
Here are some photos from a visit.
