What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this is a great little site with lots to admire. It has just enough historical information to inspire the curious but not bore everyone else. The songs are fairly sappy but harmless. The only question is where's the cowboy poetry? Maybe they left it home on the range.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
Although an online tour through a museum doesn't quite pack the punch of the real thing, kids (and adults) will get a fascinating glimpse into the lives of cowboys and their families on this colorful, user-friendly site. The interactive exhibits are a fun way to teach kids about the tools of the trade, from old-fashioned cookware to rainy-day entertainment like dominos and the harmonica.
