You will not be disappointed. The displays are one of a kind and deep rooted in history. From Custer to NASA to local heroes. A prize of Wheeler, no doubt!
Fantastic small town museum! Very knowledgeable & friendly staff!
Well worth a hop off I-40. Amazing collection on astronaut Alan Bean, fourth man on the moon, and his painted artwork. Also a nice presentation and artifacts of the local Red River War. Located in the American Legion building. Free, but there is a donation box. Some displays are in progress (3/2019), so it's just getting better. Staff was friendly and helpful (and the only person around when I visited on a Saturday). Just head north from the U-Drop-In in Shamrock and continue through Wheeler until you see the big astronaut statue.
Wonderfully curated collection of artifacts belonging to Apollo 12 astronaut Alan Bean. Many of the exhibits focus on his childhood in Texas. A must stop for space fans.
