Hall of Great Western Performers, Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, United States.
The Hall of Great Western Performers is a gallery within the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum dedicated to entertainment history of the American West. It displays movie posters, firearms, and other artifacts from notable Western entertainers across multiple exhibition areas.
The institution was established in 1955 as a center for recognizing Western entertainers and their contributions. Each year, the Western Heritage Awards ceremony inductees new performers into the hall, continuing this tradition of celebration.
The hall displays movie posters, portraits, and personal belongings from Western performers, showing how audiences connected with these entertainers. You can see how stars were perceived in their time and what objects held meaning for them.
The gallery is located within a larger museum, so plan time to explore the surrounding exhibits as well. Visiting in sequence with other Western-themed displays helps you understand the broader context of frontier entertainment and its evolution.
Part of the collection comes from the 101 Ranch Wild West Show, an early live performance that shaped Western entertainment before film existed. This connection reveals how stage shows laid the foundation for Western cinema that followed.
