What is the devil's rope? It's barbed wire.
This building houses the worlds largest museum on barbed wire. Out front you'll notice there are two balls mounted on pedestals. Those are actually balls of barbed wire, much like the balls that people roll with yarn only much more hazardous!
If barbed wire isn't enough to motivate you to stop then you should know that in this building is colocated with the Texas Route 66 Museum. As with almost every state that Route 66 goes through, there's a museum dedicated to it. The building is huge, plenty of room for both museums. There is much to see because, even though Texas has one of the shortest stretches of Route 66, it offers a good variety of interesting sites to visit.
