CHARLES GOODNIGHT EXHIBIT

The full Charles Goodnight Collection by Lee Cable has stampeded into The Heritage Society this month courtesy of The Bryan Museum. The 13 paintings by the Colorado artist depict some of the major stories of Goodnight’s life including his interactions with Cynthia Ann Parker, Oliver Loving, the Palo Duro Canyon, bison, and Quanah Parker. Each picture is accompanied by an artist sketch so that the viewer gains an understanding of the artistic process from the initial idea to the final painting. In addition, to the paintings, The Bryan Museum has provided a trunk of items including a cowhide, spurs, and saddle so that museum goers get a hands-on experience of the Old West cattle drives. The exhibit will on display at The Heritage Society through the end of March for Rodeo season.
