    Fantastic place! The Richard's have made this historical site a living history not just a bunch of old buildings. Definitely worth the visit.

    Worth the drive to see this unique slice of American and Texan history. Come for the rifles, then be amazed by the rest of the collections and the obvious care that was taken in showcasing them all.

    As listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Very interesting and very friendly, knowledgeable staff. Worth the trip...watch out for rattlesnakes!
