How to Get to Sherman Indian Museum #

Tips for Visiting Sherman Indian Museum #
- Ask at the front desk of Sherman Indian High School for museum hours and any guided tours-it's on the school campus and not always open to casual drop-in visitors.
- If possible, visit during a school event or art sale; student beadwork and regalia are often on display or quietly sold at campus markets.
- Look for the small, worn spots on the museum's wooden floor and in the display cases-the best traces of daily life here are not the labels but the fingerprints and scuffed edges.
Best Time to Visit Sherman Indian Museum #
Best visited during the school year when exhibits and campus programming are most likely to be on display; call ahead for hours.
