Hallie's Hall Of Fame - Marathon, TX - Oddball Museums on Waymarking.com

Hallie was one of those larger than life Texans we read about. Setting up house in 1917, she spent over 70 years on the ranch, winning the hearts and accolades of Texans, from neighbors to Governors, Senators and even a President.

To preserve that legacy and let others better understand what life was like during those times, is what this Hall of Fame, or museum, is really all about. Something also says it's a tongue in cheek way of poking fun at those high falutin' big city museums and Hall of Fames, even down to proudly displaying the date it was established, Oct. 20, 1991.

Yes there really is a Hallie's Hall of Fame.

The building may not rival to something in Dallas, but it's just right for Hallie.

Hallie, herself, there's something about a tiny gun toting grandma in boots that strikes fear in the heart of those that would take advantage.

Every room deals with a different aspect of life.
