The cat and the buffalo
The cat taking a break on the full size stuffed buffalo. The buffalo was won by a Steamboat Springs man playing pennies at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. The man took the Buffalo up to his room, thinking that the hotel would take care of it. A week later the man got a $600 bill for the buffalo staying in the room for a week. So, he went back to Colorado Springs and brought the buffalo to Steamboat. Lou later received the buffalo for the man.

Sheep Wagon
Carol Gossard restored the sheep wagon in 1976. The top half of the wagon belonged to the Gossard family while the bottom half of the wagon belonged to the Gent family. Both families where from the Axial Basin area near Hamilton, Colorado.
Carol Gossard donated the wooden-wheeled wagon to the Museum of Northwest Colorado. It is on loan from the Museum of Northwest Colorado to the Wyman Living History Museum.
Hearse
This hearse is the one used in Idaho Springs and Georgetown, Colorado. The hearse has been restored back to it's original colors. When this picture was taken the hearse was not finished being restored.

The Wyman Museum has a complete set of Colorado licence plates. The licence plates start with a homemade licence plate from 1912 and end with one from 1979. We stopped with 1979 because stickers where introduced instead of the year being punched into the plate.

The Mudge Motor Car was used by the railroad to inspect the rail.
