I was given a free tour by the enthusiastic museum owner, who was sporting full Western garb and a thick European accent. Did you know Cassidy knocked this bank off because he promised a lenient judge across the state line that he would leave Wyoming alone? Did you know the local sheriff gave chase on a borrowed bicycle? Did you know the museum proprietor organizes a yearly reenactment robbery/ bike chase/ BBQ cook off? Even though it was 2 pm and he admitted I was only visitor #3 on the day, his zeal was infectious. Meeting him was worth the stop.
