phillips county museum

When we saw the small building that houses this museum, my husband and I thought we'd be in and out in a half hour. Instead we found ourselves immersed in a wonderful mix of historical artifacts (fossils, period clothing, furniture, and documents) along with period rooms that kept us inside for over two hours. We loved the old land records where we found my husband's grandmother's property. The volunteer staff member was both knowledgeable and friendly. This small town has done a marvelous job of preserving western history in a thoughtful and fascinating syle.
