Visions of the American West: Masterworks from the Buffalo Bill Historical Center
Contrary to what some may believe, Cheekwood is not only known for their beautiful botanical gardens and their extensive collection of Chihuly art pieces. In fact, starting on October 22nd, 2011 and going through February 26th, 2012, Cheekwood will have a very special event which showcases artwork, Plains Indian artifacts, Wild West show objects, and firearms all from the age of the famous/historical Buffalo Bill. Something different than the normal art gallery, this particular showcase may indeed be something that the ladies can easily convince their husbands or boyfriends to come to as well. Buffalo Bill was a United States soldier, bison hunter and showman. He received the Medal of Honor in 1872 for his service to the US Army and was one of the most colorful figure of the American Old West. So put on your cowboy boots, saddle up, and head on down to Cheekwood for an exhibit to remember.
