The Buffalo Bill Museum in the News...
- On April 6th, the Buffalo Bill
Museum hosted “Dinner with Mrs. Dawley” at the Crane &
Pelican Café located in the home of Captain and Mrs.
Dawley, LeClaire’s first licensed riverboat pilot. A
number of guests appeared in period costume, interacting
with guests as “friends and family of the Captain and
Mrs. Dawley.”
The event was the first fundraiser supporting the
museum’s plan to expand its facility, breaking ground in
September 2013 with completion in March 2014. Robert
Schiffke, the museum’s director and curator noted “We
are excited by the opportunities that this expansion
will afford us, such as: additional space for exhibit
expansion; additional workspace and storage area for
ongoing archiving work; larger gathering areas for
presentations and accommodation of larger tour groups;
and an area designated for interactive learning
experiences for small groups. We are about to enter
another exciting chapter in the museum’s history, and
your donation is bringing it into reality!
