Fodor's Expert Review King's Saddlery

Although local cowboy legend Don King died in 2007, his sons still operate King's Saddlery and King's Ropes, where they've been hand-tooling saddles since the 1940s. They also make high-quality equipment for area ranchers and professional rodeo performers. King's has crafted gear for many celebrities, including Queen Elizabeth II. Unless you're in the market for an expensive saddle, what makes this a worthy stop (and a real treat) is found across a small alley directly behind the store, where a small museum is chock-full of Western memorabilia, ranging from more than 400 vintage firearms and handcrafted spurs to historical photographs, wildlife mounts, and arguably the largest collection of Western saddles anywhere.
