This is a small but interesting heritage park with bits and pieces from Snyder and throughout Scurry County, some of which were no longer wanted but saved for the enjoyment of others. It is open on weekdays from 10 AM to 4 PM, free of charge, and most of the exhibits have a QR code in front of them, which, upon scanning, will take you to their
website for further information. This one reads:
A roof unit was constructed by HSC, Inc. in April, 2013 for the protection of two mid-1900 gasoline pumps, an oil storage tank, a floor jack and a 1950 Chevrolet pickup. A pipe enclosure can be (is currently) mounted on the bed of the pickup to allow for the hauling of livestock which was a common practice prior to the popularity of stock trailers. These items were donated to the Heritage Village in February of 2013 by former Snyder resident H. P. "Bo" Brown Jr. The bricks used to make the floor were originally part of the street around the Scurry County courthouse. They were donated by the Janelle Hammack family.
This old Thriftmaster could use some restoration, as its green paint is faded and peeling in some places, with rust settling in. They would prefer that you simply look and don't touch, and as of this posting, the driver side window had been broken, with the glass covering the front seat.
