1884 Bank Robbery

This display recalls the Medicine Lodge bank robbery of 1884. Included are photos of the men who committed the robbery, the posse that caught them, and the Medicine Valley Bank where the robbery occurred.

Two bank officials were shot in the robbery. One died at the scene and the other died later. One robber was killed trying to escape; the others were hung by a lynch mob that broke into the jail. During Peace Treaty Pageant weekend, the Night Show includes a reenactment of the bank robbery.
