War Bonnet on Display

Sherman MuseumSherman Texas | March 25, 2017

The Sherman Museum is excited to announce the addition of a new item to the Texoma Time Traveler exhibit. A beautiful war bonnet crafted by local artisan, Terry Phillips.

Terry is a member of the Crow tribe and creates ceremonial Native American war bonnets. This bonnet is modeled after the Comanche style, who would make raids into the Texoma area. “It is a beautiful piece, filled with historical significance and symbolism, and will be a major focal point for the exhibit,” Director Dan Steelman stated. The bonnet will be displayed alongside other Native American artifacts in the museum’s Texoma Time Traveler exhibit.

The War Bonnet can be seen alongside the rest of the Texas Time Traveler exhibit at The Sherman Museum. The museum is open Tuesday through Friday, 10am to 4pm.
