Vanishing Texana Museum

The Vanishing Texana Museum in Jacksonville offers an impressive collection of antiquities, curiosities, ephemera and vestiges from the region and beyond, with the majority of the items dated from 1830 through 1950. Items from foreign regions, however, date as far back as 238 A.D.! An extensive Antique Coin Exhibition showcases currency hailing from the Roman Empire. A particularly unusual item is the Noell Madstone. Before the rabies vaccine became available in 1885, no treatment existed for having been bitten by a rabid animal – except for the application of a Madstone.

I have always wanted to just see what they had there... much to my surprise there was a gift shop and so much more aside from baskets. I spent so much time in this place. There was so much to see and it took some time. The prices are reasonable and it's great to go when they have sales!!! Amazing!!!
