Western Spirit-Scottsdale

We had a sole day in Scottsdale before returning to MKE. A visit to the Western Spirit, Scottsdale’s Museum of the West was perfect. The current exhibit was photographs taken by Barry Goldwater of native Americans, long before he got into politics and served as Senator. In his youth he has a chance encounter with Ansel Adams who praised his work. 

There many collections of spurs, saddles, halters, chaos, guns, and all things western. 

The bronze sculptures by John Coleman were outstanding. 

And we got into the Western spirit too!
