Went back today, and the museum was open. I talked to the lady who was volunteering today, and she…read moresaid that sometimes others forget that they are supposed to work, or they have family problems and cannot attend. That was in regards to the museum being closed on Thursday when the sign said it was open. The volunteer today (Jackie) was extremely nice. She knew a lot about the items. I walked around looking at the stuff families have donated. There was a homemade bed that belonged to Collin McKinney (he was a founder of McKinney, TX) and is buried here at VA cemetery. What I really liked best was the vintage school memorabilia. The old football, baseball and cheerleader uniforms. The school pictures were neat. They had a girl's volleyball photo from 1912 and the uniforms were big, bulky dresses. Must have been difficult to move around in those clothes. Yet, I would rather see those then the mini shorts and tight shirts that girls wear today when playing volleyball. There was also a few photos from the segregated black school. Today it's been converted into a church across the railroad tracks. This was a really neat place. I could't find anything that belonged to my ancestors. Which is kinda sad b/c my 3rd great-grandfather was one of the wealthiest landowners in Cannon. You would think someone would have donated something. After I walked around, I talked to the volunteer. She was extremely nice and polite. She let me browse through a book on the history of Grayson county. I couldn't find anything on my family. This is a nice little place to look around. They're only open three days a week during the summer for 2 hrs a day. Like my previous trip, sometimes the volunteers don't show up. They do have vintage postcards and calendars for sale. All sales go to the museum. They also take donations.

The neatest museum of Van Alstyne history, artifacts, and things to remember…read more The museum itself is small but packs a punch. Areas are displayed with a wide variety of antiques, photos, clothing, and personal belongings of citizens of Van Alstyne's past. Entrance is free, but no photography is allowed. A single staff member works the desk. The hours of operation are slim, only a couple a day. If you're passing through it's a neat stop. If you have family history in this area help the museum out by looking through binders of unidentified photographs. You might find a relative or two. My personal favorite displays were the personal grooming items.

We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of dinosaur information here and heard about their Dino Days... hot topic for the little ones!

We had a great time for my adult $5 admission, and my two young children were free. My four year old, who is over the moon about dinosaurs these days, excitedly played in the sandbox downstairs, and completed the crafts in the craft room during Dino Days. He was full of questions about all of the dinosaur skeletons, the video upstairs, and wanted half the items in the gift shop. He and I talked about the dinosaur footprints, and compared them to his feet. He excitedly tromped around looking at everything. We really enjoyed our trip, and took advantage of the Dino Days experience. As we were the first into the room for the 3D movie downstairs, the man running the movie was very nice to start it over for us since it had just started. As the title screens were still appearing, several other groups entered the room, making it fortunate timing for all involved. We followed our visit with a trip to Pickles and Pottery around the corner, where I had my four year old paint his very own ceramic stegosaurus. He coated it in mottled paint gleefully, talking all the while about dinosaurs. A week later we were able to pick up the finished glossy piece. The Sherman Museum is a wonderful place to take children. The staff are friendly and helpful; visitors are welcomed to walk through at their leisure, and enjoy all the museum has to offer. If you're a fellow parent, you will appreciate this as kids are often on their own schedule, choosing to walk past one exhibit, then stand and stare at triceratops for ten minutes... then come back later and walk around triceratops for another ten just to take it all in. For weeks following our visit my four year old has not forgotten what a good time he had, and continues to ask on most days, "Mom, is it Dino Day yet?" I expect we will be making at least one more visit to the Sherman Museum before Dino Days are extinct.

First film I saw here was Indiana Jones:Raiders of the Lost Arc and that was a pretty neat experience. Sat at the top balcony which was pretty cool.

Mr. Jenkins has a pick your own peach, plum and blackberry farm just north of Bonham, Texas. It was a nice drive and a great way to spend a Saturday morning with the family. The peaches were absolutely amazing... we ate some right off the tree as we filled our baskets. They were large, perfectly ripe and bursting with flavor. They were great as a snack, delicious in peach cobbler and a perfect pair for French vanilla ice cream! Please be respectful of the trees and don't pull on the limbs to get that peach that's just out of your reach. Unfortunately we saw way too many broken limbs. Come on people, there are plenty of peaches for everyone. Call in advance for hours and availability. This week they were closing at 1 PM due to the extreme heat. Enjoy!

Tonight Friday September 6th 2019 showing at 6:35pm IT. My husband and I took our three children…read more We love scary movies! Pretty far into the movie I saw someone coming into the movie theater that we were in and that person was just standing there looking at everyone that was watching the movie. This of course startled me a bit because a lot of active shootings have gone on. It has been a very hard time for all of us I believe. I kept an eye on this person not knowing what was going to happen. This person in fact was a employee of this movie theater and I later found of her name is Michelle. She walked to the side front of the theater in front of the screen and stated to yell and scream for who ever has their feet on the seats to take them off unless they want to clean her seats and anyone on their cell phones shouldnt be on them at all. Look I understand that but she should of confronted those people and or teenager's in a professional manner that would not startle and be disruptive to others that are trying to relax on a Friday night. Not have a employee of the theater think it is okay to disrupt customers and scare them. My children told me that they thought she was someone who was going to hurt us. Do you know how horrible that is? After the movie my husband and I did ask to speak with this women and anot her employee went to get her. We confronted her and she only would tell us her first name. She tried to apologize but we could not accept that because that was not what we paid for! She was a very cold person she should be ashamed of herself! I would like corporate to reach out to me. This needs to be taken care of. I believe it is reasonable to say that that is not professional behavior that is not at all how you run a business. A police officer was there and did witness us confronting her and making our complaint. We did not pay for Michelle to come in the middle of our movie and start to yell and scream at us! My family and I originally were going to go to the movie theaters in Sherman , but I said why not go here in town. I really ate my words tonight on that one! Horrible customer service! Couldn't even watch and movie with out a employee yelling and screaming at us! Even if it is the only movie theater in town I will not recommend this establishment to anyone I know. You should be ashamed of yourself to run a business like that!

They have a very small video game arcade, clean restrooms, and they also have the typical concession stand fare that you find at all the other movie theaters. The ticket prices are very reasonable too. Being that it's in a small town, sometimes they don't show the current releases as they come out. You might find a two-week delay in the opening of a new release. By then you will have probably driven to Sherman to see that new movie there. Overall though, it's a pleasant experience. Did I mention how comfortable the seating is? :) My wife and I give Majestic 6 theater a thumbs up. Check it out.

I think I watched a movie with a soda and popcorn just over $5 - they have a special that is really cheap for drink and popcorn. Drinks are $2.50-3.75; popcorn $2.50-.4.25; a movie meal is $3.50. The theater is old so the seats tend to recline whether you want to or not. No stadium seating here and the room I was in was small for todays standards. However, it is very clean the best I could see. I went to a matinee and it wasn't overrun with inconsiderate moviegoers texting and such.
