Who da thunk it? A high quality car collection in a small north Texas town. Not that there's anything wrong with Nocona, this is an attraction you'd not expect to see in a town 50 times the size. Well worth the $12 entry (less for some categories of visitor).
Everything is very well presented and the cars are well looked after.
If you're in the area go see it.
2. Tales n Trails Museum

For centuries, people have traveled through what is now known as Montague County. They traveled by foot and by horse and by wagon. Eventually they traveled by rail and road. Permanent settlement was slow in coming, but with the establishment of Head of Elm (now Saint Jo), the county soon began to grow. Every individual who passed through left their footprints in time. It has been a long time dream of the citizens of Montague County to have a place to showcase the mementos of their history. The Tales 'N' Trails Museum provides the perfect repository for the relics and artifacts of the county's past. The Museum opened its doors in 2010 after fifteen years of planning and fundraising. Funded primarily by local donations, the Museum was built on land donated by the heirs of Joe Benton, an early pillar of the community. The Museum houses hundreds of Native American artifacts and European trade goods from the vast collection of Texana of the Joe Benton family. In addition to temporary exhibits which are continually rotated throughout the year, the Museum focuses on five separate topics which are instrumental to the history of this area: Native American Culture Western Heritage Agriculture Leather Goods Oil & Gas Industry

The tour took about 45 minutes and was given by the production manager. He led us through all the steps of making a hand-made baseball glove, from choosing the leather to sewing and lacing, and the final "breaking-in". A very enjoyable and instructional tour for all ages and all baseball fans.
