“On exhibit through May 4, 2025, Cowboy Boots: From Roundups to Runways, presented by Lucchese Bootmaker, transports guests on a journey through time, tracing the evolution of cowboy boots from their 19th-century origins to their modern-day status as a cultural icon. This exciting temporary exhibition offers a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship, history and enduring appeal of these timeless boots.

The exhibition delves into the fascinating transformation of riding boots from the 1860s — drawing inspiration from European styles and Civil War-era cavalry boots — to the revolutionary designs mass-produced by Hyer and Justin in the 1870s that shaped the cowboy boots we know and love today.

Whether you’re a history buff, a fashion enthusiast, or simply curious, Cowboy Boots invites you to discover why, nearly 160 years after their debut, cowboy boots remain one of the most iconic and beloved pieces of footwear.” — continue reading

‘The Outside Circle: A Movie of the Modern West’—

“The Outside Circle: A Movie of the Modern West delves into the mythologies and realities of the Modern West and its "landscape" today via the stories of Len Babb -- a lifelong buckaroo and accomplished western artist, the Murphy family -- fifth generation Oregon ranchers fighting to preserve their land and legacy, and Victoria Jackson -- a Paiute-Shoshone rodeo champion whose family legacy in the Great Basin reaches back over 14,000 years. Determined to preserve their heritage, traditions, and livelihoods far from the cultural, political, and economic centers of wider America -- on what working cowboys call The Outside Circle -- the narratives find a common thread in their modest adherence to the values that have sustained them against the odds: faith, family, friends, and community.”
