The Heritage Village in Woodville is one of those gems you just stumble across, the village is a collection of buildings arranged as a pioneer town dated between the 1840s through 1920s. In addition, there is the Pickett House that serves boarding house style all you can eat fried chicken, chicken & dumplings, country vegetables, cobbler, biscuits, and cornbread.
Sam Houston Memorial Museum in Huntsville, TX
Huntsville is home to the Sam Houston Memorial Museum, and we made it a Texas History Day by starting at the Cafe Texan. Then it was off to the Sam Houston State campus where the museum is located.
Schulenburg TX tours: St. Mary Catholic Church and the Stanzel Model Aircraft Museum
The Stanzel Model Aircraft Museum and the painted churches were closed when we were in Hallettsville last Memorial Day, so we had those on our bucket list for when we came back through. We weren’t disappointed.

Universities in New Mexico (with pictures from a side trip to the University of Dayton)
I have worked in facilities management for higher education my entire life. In fact, my father was the Director of Physical Plant at Texas Christian University for 17 years and I grew up in a house where the trials and tribulations of a university chief facilities officer were discussed nightly.

I was born in 1954, and for those who remember their history, the “baby boomers” as we were nick-named constituted a very large student population. Indeed, as we progressed from kindergarten to college, we were often housed in temporary buildings in the parking lot all the way through school. Right behind us, however, there was a very large decrease in this demographic, and many of the colleges converted older dormitories to offices. Interestingly, the staff grew while the population was declining, a trend that never really reversed.
Albuquerque NM Telecommunications Museum
We’re always up for a good, out-of-the-way museum. As usual, there was a docent who was very knowledgeable.
The Lusk Stagecoach Museum
We got interested in the Quilt Trail and walked around most of Lusk, further stumbling upon the Stagecoach Museum. The Stagecoach Museum is in a former Wyoming National Guard Armory and houses relics from the 19th-and 20th-centuries when Lusk was a notorious cow town and busy homesteader area.
The Clark Hotel and Museum
We spent most of one morning touring the Clark Hotel. I took a tour of the old kitchen while ElizaBeth visited with the curator.
