The museum is very well presented and well kept. The artifacts on display are simply amazing! You get to walk through the hall of presidents, and then view Americas history through the cost of war.

For such a small town, there's lots of history. Shipping was big in the area, until the railroads came along. Freighters actually loaded up in the area, and waterways led to the Red River, which led to New Orleans, which led to the ocean. Who would of thought you could take a ship from north Texas to the ocean. Amazing! This used to be the courthouse and the post office. There are 3 floors of amazing artifacts. Next door , the Railroad Society has a huge setup, but we didn't get to see it. Next time! Take the time to see the history of this area. You'll enjoy it!
