Explore the Code: The Code of the West Review

October 1 - October 31

October 1 October 31

Step into the heart of the West at the Museum’s new interactive that brings the Code of the West to life!

The Code of the West is a set of unwritten values that guides the lives of Westerners. It teaches values of honesty, hard work, grit, and so much more. This code helped Westerners survive and thrive in the vast landscapes of the Western frontier. 

Code of the West

Live each day with courage.

Take pride in your work.

Always finish what you start.

Do what has to be done.

Be tough, but fair.

When you make a promise, keep it.

Ride for the brand.

Talk less and say more.

Remember that some things aren’t for sale.

Know where to draw the line.

Explore how the Code relates to your own West, with an interactive coloring sheet. After you discover personal connections, visit the Code of the West wall to make your pledge and add your mark on the West! Free for members or with Museum admission. Available while supplies last.
