We hung around this morning as we wanted to sit in on the informational meeting held by Jim and Anne on Cochise Co. and in particular the Dragoon Mountains which was Cochise's stronghold.
Our plans for the day after the meeting ended was to go to the AmerInd Foundation in the town of Dragoon that sits at the base of the Dragoon Mountains. The museum houses artwork and artifacts of the Southwest's Indian Tribes. The museum is also an archaeological/anthropological research facility on the American Indians. Jim told us that we should plan on a full day because there is so much to see. Knowing us, we thought three hours would be enough. We did find it interesting and they have some wonderful pieces of baskets, pottery, and other artifacts along with some interesting stories on how they came to the museum.
This is a shot of the Art Gallery Building that houses original art work by Indian artists. There is also an original Remington on display. No cameras were allowed in either building due to copyright issues or damage caused by flashes.

The museum is in Texas Canyon. The canyon appears to be nothing but big (huge) boulders everywhere you look.
This sign was on the Museum's grounds. Gotta say I didn't care for the message about the rattlesnakes. This whole canyon can't be anything but loaded with them. No hiking here for either of us.
The rock formations are beautiful and do offer a certain charm.
Looks like snake country doesn't it?
The museum admission is only $5 per person. The museum is worth going through if you are in the area.
