Museum of the Big Bend

by Administrator on August 12, 2009

I spent some time at the Museum this morning. It is difficult to photograph because of its length and limited space in front. The attractive building was constructed in 1937 of the local Crossen volcanic trachyte rock that caps Hancock Hill behind the museum. The gift shop stocks our books and postcards. The director, Larry Francell, has written a comprehensive Texas State Historical Commission entry on its history.
