Join us as we welcome gifted actor Walt Willey, as he brings his Special Edition one-man show focusing on Wild Bill’s time in Illinois!


In July of 2014, “Gunslingers” premiered on the American Heroes Channel. Walt Willey (All My Children’s “Jackson Montgomery”) starred in the episode “Wild Bill...Marksman and Marked Man.” Willey was drafted as co-writer and historical consultant for the episode which features dialogue from “Wild Bill! An Evening with James Butler Hickok.” Now you can see this Special Edition of his one-man show and see why! A Question & Answer/Meet & Greet Reception will Immediately Follow the Show!


Please register in advance as space is limited for this very special presentation. The program will be held in the Museum’s indoor Caterpillar Auditorium. Beverages will be available for purchase, and light snacks and coffee are complimentary.
