King's Museum, which opened in 1989, is home to over 550 saddles. The museum also includes large collections of other items associated with cowboys and the West, including spurs, chaps, bits, rawhide and horsehair work, leather tools, boots, guns, wagons, and all kinds of horse tack and harnesses. The museum, located in King's Saddlery also has many old photos of the West on display, a good collection of western paintings, and an outstanding collection of Native American crafts. In addition, there are many examples of saddles and horse tack from other parts of the world including Europe, South America, the Middle East, the Far East and Australia. The majority of objects in the museum are from the personal collection of saddlemaker Don King.

All the major forms of the western saddle, and all the well known saddle shops are represented. Some have said that a history of the western saddle could be written based entirely on Don King's collection.

Among the many saddles exhibited are a Pre-Civil War Conestoga saddle, which was used on the left wheel horse to control the wagon. Also on display is a Japanese saddle tree. This saddle was found in a tomb located in a cave above the town of Naha, on the island of Okinawa during World War II. It is believed the saddle dates to the 17th century.

Also located in the museum is Jim Jackson who produces all the custom made leather work for King's Saddlery. Stop by his bench and see for yourself how leather tooling is done.

The museum is open 8-5, Monday through Saturday. Admission is free.
