## About

Spend Thanksgiving holiday weekend exploring Western heritage and hands-on history at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. The museum's centerpiece for families is Liichokoshkomo', an expansive 100,000-square-foot outdoor interactive education center named after the Chickasaw phrase for 'let's play.' Children can explore life-sized Native American dwellings, step inside pioneer sod soddies, navigate a pioneer wagon train, and cross an engineered suspension bridge over natural streams. Inside the main galleries, the Children's Cowboy Corral lets toddlers and young visitors dress up in cowboy chaps, try roping practice steers, and read pioneer stories in a cozy bunkhouse replica. Thanksgiving weekend features special living history demonstrators sharing frontier cooking techniques, leathercrafting traditions, and storytelling sessions celebrating the diverse cultural heritages of the American West.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Museum indoor galleries feature wide, ramp-connected corridors; outdoor Liichokoshkomo' paths are smooth packed gravel and paved walkways accessible for sturdy strollers.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Private nursing mother lounges with comfortable glider armchairs and changing tables are located near the main entrance and education wing.
• Age Suitability: Perfect for all ages, with interactive play zones specifically engaging toddlers through age 12.
• Sensory Tips: Outdoor zones provide ample open space and natural airflow; indoor dioramas have dim lighting and gentle background acoustic soundscapes.
