I found a wire basket and some older tablecloths in a pleasant shop full of collectables.
We spent a few hours scouring each item in the Buffalo Bill Cody museum and then listened to hand held tour info while walking through the steamboat.
Down the street from Buffalo Bill's museum is a shop for guys, American Pickers on television sell some of their stuff here. They also have tee shirts and plaques and books they wrote. This place was busier with tourists than the Buffalo Bill museum. Tourists were lined up out front waiting for the American Pickers store to open.
The visit to Leclaire Iowa was interesting and fun and the natural beauty of the town will be a pleasant memory for me for a long time.

Hubby loves American Pickers and history, so I'm sure he would love the museum, too.
ha. cool...buffalo bill is a cool character...have never seen pickers,heard of it...is it like hoarders?
Most people don't go to museums, but a shop where you can buy things is a different animal altogether. Glad you had a good time, CiCi. :-)
Sounds like a fun and relaxing little town.....well, maybe not so relaxing for those lined up to get into the Pickers store.
I enjoy American Pickers and always look forward to what they find. I try doing this from time to time but I've yet to find "rusty gold."
My wife loves watching American Pickers, she would have loved to see the shop!
It looks like a fun place for a wander with a camera. I'm enjoying these pieces of your country's history.
I think I need to add Leclaire to my bucket list :)
I, for one, love scouring those museums. Lots of history! Who knew Iowa was such a nice destination?!
