even more job ideas for your western/cowboy oc that are not outlaws, bounty hunters, or sheriffs
wanted poster sketch artist - try your darnedest, some of the descriptions folks will give you will be really... something
owner of a small inn/old trading post in the middle of nowhere - days are slow, but ever so often you get travelers stopping by to rest or replenish their things
stablehand for a traveling wild west show like "Buffalo Bill's" - working with performers is tough (they always think they're the main character ugh), you prefer the company of animals and enjoy watching shows from behind-the-scenes
a small town's local barber... and dentist... and surgeon...
saloon piano player - inebriated patrons amuse and annoy you
snake oil salesperson - do you brew your own magic juice or are you just a pawn in a larger business?
sunday school "teacher" - you were not quite educated yourself, but you were the only able-bodied adult in town without kids or family, so you got assigned daycare duty

You can have your own wild west fort. The current owners bought the old Frontier Town attraction in Helena, Montana and turned it into a residence. It was built in 1968 on 41 acres. So, you’d get a frontier town, too. For sale for $1.7M.
Right inside the gate is the jail.
The residence.
Made of logs and lots of rocks, it’s being sold as-is, b/c it does need some refreshing.
The kitchen has this cool oven.
There’s a large dining room.
Main bedroom.
The bath could use a little updating.
There’s a total of 42 rooms on the property, all made of stone and wood.
Some of the rooms look makeshift with curtains instead of doors.
There will be some antiques that will convey, but the owner will point out which ones.
This looks like a huge bar. What a party property.
I wonder if they’ll leave this little town display.
Check out the stone stairs.
It also has a restaurant and a dance floor.
Looks like the industrial cooking equipment hasn’t been used in years.
Look at all the stuff- even commercial refrigerators. I wonder what they’re leaving.
This place is amazing.
The owners clearly didn’t use these games either, and they’ve deteriorated. Look at the little merry-go-round in the corner.
There are all different displays on the property, but it looks so dirty- the owners just left it to collect dust.
There’re a couple of old wagons in here.
The frontier church looks like it can be rented out for weddings.
It even has a choir loft.
These look like a couple of former souvenir stands.
I would think that they’d leave the outdoor antiques.
The property is so vast there are roads thru it and there’s this small lake.
And, this big ol’ buffalo and tepee. Somebody wants it, b/c there’s a sale pending. I wonder what they’ll do with it.
