Planned to open in late 2009, the museum will tell the story of South Central Texas' proud contribution to the twin legends of the Texas cowboy and the Longhorn. The oldest trail riders that could have told the tales of life along the Chisholm Trail have long since hung up their spurs, but the Museum's mission is to chronicle those formative years by focusing on the 50-year period beginning with Crockett Cardwell's now legendary cattle drive of 1866.
Current commitments to the Museum include Texana furniture, 19th century store ledgers, early Texas maps, photographs, saddles, spurs, chaps, wagons, and other priceless cowboy memorabilia.
