When visiting Seattle in the U.S., be sure to check out the Museum of Popular Culture. See guitars, movie props, costumes, and more. #MoPop #UnitedStates #museum #Seattle #populaculture #movies #music #travel #USTravel #familytravel #vacation

This music museum is in Charlotte, North Carolina, and includes the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame.

The Country Music Hall of Fame - I'll be honest: initially, Mr B was way more excited about visiting The Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum in Nashville than I was. It makes sense: his musical roots run deep in the old-timey music of a bygone era, while mine lean more toward folk, rock, and blues. What I didn't understand before our Tennessee trip was how profoundly *his* music has influenced *my* music (and vice versa) over time. | The Good Hearted Woman

There are many museums preserving cowboy history and western heritage in Canada and the United States. With artifacts from saddles and cowboy hats to barbed wire and branding irons, there are lots of artifacts in cowboy museums. Outlaw history is tied closely to cowboy history, as they often worked as cowboys on cattle drives at least part of the time.
