The Hot Springs County Museum’s Native American collection includes numerous items of Plains Indian beadwork, two elk hide paintings (one of which was created by Chief Washakie in January 1900, one month before his death), and the Stephenson family collection of arrowheads, spear points, scrapers, knives, awls and beads, assembled from the 1940s through the 1970s. The Stephenson collection consists of 41 framed displays, 37 of which contain artifacts collected entirely in south-central Wyoming. The Stephenson family's collection is thought to be the largest collection assembled by a single family in the United States.
