The owners of this museum had amassed a large collection of native American (North, South, and Central) art and artifacts from recent history. They made an attempt to give the entire collection to a museum in Oregon, but that museum ran out of space and could not accept the gift. So, they opened this museum in Weatherford, two blocks from the Parker County Courthouse Square.
There is no charge for admission, though donations are accepted. There's even a list of wanted issues of magazines posted.
