This is a locally owned distillery that is open to the public the 1st Saturday of each month. The day starts with a fantastic tour of the operations along with stories of their journey in the business. Then time to relax with friends, play games, have one of their specialty drinks, and food from a local food vendor.

The museum is open Thu - Fri - Sat 11AM - 4PM and Sun by appointment. The RRRM displays many historical items from the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad known as the Katy and other rail lines serving Denison, Texas and the Texoma area. Our new location is 124 West Main Street, one block west of the Historic Katy Depot, one blocks east of US 69. Come visit our Interactive Train Simulator the next best thing to operate the real thing. Our gift store has many train related items to purchase. Outside the Katy Depot next to our train equipment display is the historical marker for the site of the first North-South Rail Connection in the United States.

Diane Geer is just the best historian ever. She told the story of the Denison Railroad depot like you were living it today. She told all the history of how it was built and its demise when KATY up and closed this very large facility. How a man sold all his holdings and even borrowed money to purchase the building when he heard it was to be torn down. He forever saved this beautiful piece of history. It is a must for a wonderful entertaining account of very important history. Told by a woman Diane Geer who makes it come to life. One of my favorite day trips ever. Thanks Diane, The Deals

We were surprised at how informative and organized this museum is, and the volunteers are ready and able to answer questions or give a tour. It covers this Air Force Base (life, war, etc.), the wars the USA has been in, and some local veterans. I enjoyed the display appreciating often overlooked military units: women in uniform, medics, code talking, and Tuskegee Airmen.
