Wow! The town of LeClaire has a great bit of history that everyone should see! We were very impressed - also like checking out the boat...very nicely laid out history - very nice!

Interesting history of Le Claire and the Mississippi River. It has an old steamship housed in a separate attached building that is pretty interesting.

Interesting history of Le Claire, if you have an interest in that town. Some history of Buffalo Bill but he's just a portion of the museum. Not particularly worth going out of your way to see.

We stopped in with our family of 5 and had a surprisingly nice visit. It's feels more like a museum of LeClaire but they have a nice collection donated from families throughout the area. There's a women's section, a school house where the kids can draw on the chalk board and sit in the old school desks, old industrial equipement... More

Maybe get some new displays more often, but very nice for any history buff and Buffalo Bill fans.

Better than the World's Largest Ball of Twine, but not by a whole lot. Very little about Bill Cody, but the Lone Star steamer was interesting & worth the $5 admission.
