She gave us a thorough explanation of the layout and the exhibits. It truly felt like going back in time in the life of the panhandle looking at all the wonderful displays. They have extensive exhibits of farming, ranching, industry, business, family life, military, and wildlife. We learned that all these were donated by local residents! Some include a fully equipped early dentist office, a doctor's office, replica of a 1920's home, and even yearbook pictures of Dumas High School. We also got to meet the painter who creates all the wonderful art on display for sale at the Art Center inside the museum. If you're ever in Dumas, definitely check it out!

We took our dog and a walk and noticed the outside area was free and had a walking path. It is various large items on display. Some items have more details than other but a nice area to walk. We didn't go inside the museum as we had our dog and with Covid we are staying outside. I hope someday to go inside but good to know the outside is free. So many years we assumed it was closed as the museum was closed. It appears you could walk around it at any time.

There is a small library, pages of information to read and tons of historical relics. There are old covered wagons, a cool caboose and farm equipment. There is a rock and bone room that is quite interesting. There are displays of old western wear, quilts, old postcards, photos, and a gabillion other things. If you're traveling I-40 west through Tucumcari, I highly recommend stopping to look at the cool architecture, the museum and the town's 1960's feel.

The museum was closed when I stopped by on Sunday, August 2, 2026, yet, there was still plenty to see outside such as a caboose firehouse, a windmill, a New Mexico Air Guard jet, and a World War II-era U.S. 90 mm M1 (or M1A1/M2) anti-aircraft gun. Whew! Artifacts inside range from maps and photos to vintage everyday artifacts. This museum is near another Tucumcari gem known as the Mesalands Dinosaur Museum and Natural Sciences Laboratory. Im the past, The building later served as an army corps office, a local hospital, and a World War II glider pilot training school before becoming a museum in 1969 Perhaps someday I will be here on a Tuesday through Saturday and it will be open.

While the smallish museum was closed on the Sunday (August 2, 2026) that I was able to visit, I knew in advance the exhibits they had on display: + Mesozoic Era dinosaur fossils + A 40-foot-long Torvosaurus (T-rex-like) skeleton from the Jurassic period + Casts of dinosaur footprints + Fossils from local dig sites + "Dig for Bones Sandbox" + Rocks and mineral from around the world They also have a gift shop. Admission prices - which will give you a chuckle - are currently as follows: + Children (3 and under) Free + Juniors (4-11) $6 + Adult (12-59) $10 + Seniors (60-98) $8 + Dinosaurs (99 and older) Free + Educators/College Students (ID Required) $8 + Active Military (ID Required) $8 + Call for group rates! I would have gladly paid that price if it had been open & my dog was allowed in (which she probably isn't because... BONES! Lol). TIP Closed Sundays and Mondays.
