We visit various small museums: The Museum of the Fur Trade in Chadron, Nebraska; the Museum of the Mountain Man in Pinedale, Wyoming; the museum at the International Quilt Study Center at the U. of Nebraska; the Jerome County Historical Society museum in Jerome, Idaho (a wonderful, possibly definitive, collection of the Minidoka Internment Camp); the Pony Express Museum in St. Joe, Missouri, and others.

Big museums have endowments. Small museums have supporters.
