The Devil’s Rope Museum and Texas Route 66 Museum, located at 100 Kingsley St., once again hosted its long-running barbed wire show and swap meet, drawing collectors and history buffs from across the country.
The museum houses one of the largest collections of barbed wire and fencing tools in the world, along with exhibits on ranching, the history of the Texas Panhandle, and the Route 66 era in McLean.
The museum is housed in a building that once served as a garment factory, one of the industries that helped sustain McLean during the twentieth century.
The police department thanks visitors for their patience with parking along Kingsley Street during the event and thanks the volunteers who keep the museum running year after year.
