Sundance has a unique history in the American frontier era, but what most people don&#8217;t know its that Butch Cassidy&#8217;s Wild Bunch (more commonly known as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) became famous (or infamous, depending on how you look at it) here in this city.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Spot a spirit from the other side<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To learn all about Butch Cassidy&#8217;s Wild Bunch and the rich history of Sundance, visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/crookcountymuseum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crook County Museum &amp; Art<\/a>, which contains more than 7,000 authentic artifacts and antiquities.
