    This was so cool! The museum / visitor center was free but we paid the $5/person fee to explore the village. The museum had tons of artifacts from pioneers as well as town folks from throughout history. The village was maybe .5 mile to walk around and pretty cool - they give you a key that opens 5 of the buildings. Loved seeing and comparing houses of different types of homesteaders. The street lights were cool too as they weren't that much taller than me! Do watch out for the Texas sized wasps...

    Every year this place lights up Lake Loy with the 12 Days of Christmas display. You can pack up some cocoa, put the radio on 90.3 and listen to Christmas music while driving through a wonderland of very beautiful lights. Best part: It's all free! Donations are accepted at the end.

    Your typical outside walk around museum. Everything is kept clean and neat. Good part of Denison's history.

    Hubby and I enjoyed our visit to this quaint local museum. The building is the old Carnegie…read moreLibrary. The staff is welcoming and helpful. We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of dinosaur information here and heard about their Dino Days... hot topic for the little ones! There were local history and cute set-ups of a country store, country home, and cattle yard. Stop and read about the fascinating story of Olive Oatman. $5.00 admission was a small price to pay for a good visit.

    We showed up at opening, were the first to park, and used the rear entrance (elevator) since I had…read morea stroller for my one year old. 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.
