The Olaf Wieghorst Museum and Western Heritage Center is named after the famed painter who is best known for his magnificent portrayals of the 19th century American West. You’ll be able to see many of his works, most of which display his affinity for horses, Native American Indians, cowboys, and settlers who helped shape this country.

The self-taught artists would perfectly capture his rugged surroundings using watercolors, oil paints, and several other art mediums which you will come across at the museum. Many events, seminars, exhibits, and concerts are held at the center throughout the year for visitors to enjoy.
