Jim Gatchell Memorial Museum, Local history museum in Buffalo, Wyoming.
The museum occupies a 1909 Carnegie Library building constructed with rough-faced ashlar masonry, featuring Norman-style columns and a semicircular apse.
Pharmacist Jim Gatchell established Buffalo's first drugstore in 1900, which became a gathering place for settlers, cowboys, Native Americans, and military personnel.
The exhibits present regional artifacts including Native American items, frontier weapons, ranching tools, and historical documents that reflect Johnson County's development.
The institution receives funding through county mill levy, admission fees, store sales, grants, and private donations to maintain its educational programs.
The collection originated from gifts given to Jim Gatchell by his pharmacy customers, including medicine bags, weapons, and traditional clothing from Native American communities.
