Two separate Museums in one building, The official Texas Route 66 State Museum. And a really oddball Museum called The Devils Rope, featuring the History of Barbed Wire.
"Only 178 miles of the 2,000-mile-long Mother Road is in Texas. Nevertheless, "the first Route 66 museum ever," is in the Texas panhandle, according to Delbert Trew, its curator. It opened in 1991, which gives some sense of when the Route 66 nostalgia movement really began.
The museum stands between the east- and west-bound lanes of the old highway, and holds a modest collection of artifacts. Because it was the first Route 66 museum, Delbert noted with pride that everything in it is authentic; there are no replicas. Most of the collection was donated by former Texas Route 66 businesses, while the rest was "rescued" by Delbert on his own initiative. "I know it's authentic because I stole it myself," he cracked."
