Ed LeRoy is Old Cowtown Museum’s Manager of Special Projects.
A 5th generation Kansan (“Born on the Santa Trail and turned twenty-one on the Chisholm Trail”) the history of the Old West and particularly the part Kansas played has always been close to Ed’s heart.
As early as 1973 he was working in the western field, starting out as the ‘Hat man” at Sheplers ‘The World’s Largest Western Stores’. Over the course of the next ten years he was promoted into areas of increasing responsibility as manager/buyer for Gifts and Jewelry, manager/buyer Menswear and Western Boot/Jean Buyer for Sheplers international catalog. With a thorough education in the commerce of material goods, retail and sales management he then moved out into the broader corporate world before returning six seasons ago to his first love: sharing the adventure of the Old West.
Whether he’s officially ‘Storytelling’, merchandising or structuring Special Event weekends, he’s never far away from “… the Exciting Days of Yesteryear!”
