These marecoulous women get your children engaged in the historical world of Roanoke, Texas. I felt like I traveled back in time. Best of all, our friends were allowed to participate and expand on their knowledge. All their questions were answered so patiently and the children were allowed to touch certain items and explore. The kindness of all these women blew my mind. They even hugged us without hesitation at the end of our unscheduled tour. Also, we are now in their Facebook page, so Yes, they made us famous.

The lady at the front desk was welcoming and knowledgeable about the museum. I like the addition of interactive pieces in the museum which made the experience better. They have a souvenir stand at the back and a guessing game. If you win the guessing game you get to choose between two shirts. I got the Roanoake tape measure and a free shirt from the guessing game. All in all it was a lunch break well spent and the ladies working there were lovely. I recommend stopping by if you are in the area.

The painting I chose which is significant to my sister which was a panda bear and cherry blossom trees. We're the 1st group to paint this and since this is a new location they offer lots of new paintings! Saturday at 11am. It's BYO and you can bring wine, beer, wine coolers but 11am is still early, so I didn't bring a drink this time around. You walk in, get checked in, grab an apron, find your seat, your name should be on a white board. Canvas, paint, and brushes all set up. If you worry you cannot paint don't worry! It's step by step, very easy, the instructor will help you if needed. You get extra time at the end if you need to touch up on a certain area. It's very calming and relaxing, some people tend to stress out about their painting and that's when some wine would come in handy. This location has lots of cute painting where there is a hole in the middle, which you stick your face in, and take a picture! They have Elsa, Ariel, even a couples one of Jasmine and Allidan! As a gift to my gift to my sister for her birthday they let her choose a painting from a trunk to keep! Very sweet! I can't wait to come back to PWAT.

I'm popping in a quick review, as I add this business to yelp. Why? Well I already added the…read morebusiness once, and the yelp admins thought this was the same business as the Wild Rose Heritage Center ( https://www.yelp.com/biz/wild-rose-heritage-center-keller ), it's not. A clever observer will note that the two business have different addresses. Hours are 11AM to 3PM, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Keller Station House Museum is across the street from the Wild Rose Heritage Center, which also lists itself as a museum So last week was the first I knew of the Keller Station House Museum. I went to a presentation at the Keller Public Library, given by Rollin Phipps. It was very interesting. I learned of general Texas railroad history, how this area came to have a train stop, and how the city of Keller got its name. Before I start on the next section of this review, I just want to say I am going to pop over to 136 Bates (later today) and grab a couple quick pictures so you (and yelp admins) can see that the Station House, and observe that it is not the same as the Heritage Center. Here is some info I received from that presentation (written by Rollin Phipps, used with permission): "To recognize the importance importance of the railroads to Keller, the Old Town Keller Foundation ( www.otkf.org ) decided to establish a museum displaying artifacts from the era of railroading. The foundation purchased a building across the street from the Wild Rose Center and began collecting train related items. In October, 2017 the museum officially opened to the public. The collection includes an Interurban Wait Station, a water tower, railroad uniforms and hats, a model train display, and various signs and crossing lights. The museum exhibits items which are of interest to both the young and hold. Even though the original Keller depot was torn down years ago, photos of that building remind us that the growth of the city has been tied to the men and women who worked on the railroads. Creating the Station House Museum took a little luck, some imagination, and finding the right display materials. In the early days of the museum, curators contacted rail fans from around the United States. One item was purchased from Minnesota, it required driving 1000 miles to get it to Keller. Another maintenance vehicle was shipped from Houston. Not all efforts have been successful. In December, the museum tried to acquire a caboose from a city near Waco. But after lengthy discussions the caboose remains in its home city. Some artifacts are extremely rare, for example there are only two remaining Interurban Wait Stations in Texas. During these last few months, the Keller curators have made friends with several railroad museums around the state." Bottom line: A very cool addition to Old Town Keller, especially as OTK continues to grow.
