They got donations from all over the county and have little exhibits on all sorts of things, buttons, war uniforms, the Spanish trail, dinosaurs, hats, cameras, memorabilia and of course the dust bowl. If you are or can be near here make time for this. Now, don't expect a tidy place with labels on everything and only a few things, this is a small town place that was not (as far as I can tell) well managed for a long time. But that makes it more fun to me. Not good for very small children. I hope they can get organized without losing the fun quirkiness that makes it so terrific I would do 5 stars, but to me that is the smithsonian or the louvre.

Upon the recommendation of the director of the museum in Clayton, I decided to visit here. The…read moreMuseum is very well kept with lots of area history. My favorite part was the dust bowl section. You actually go on a little shack and then the presentation starts in illuminates. Pieces from the dust bowl days. Overall, it's a little bit of a haul from Clayton, but I feel worth the trip. The only reason I didn't get five stars was the gentleman who was there at the museum wasn't very accommodating as far as showing me around. Otherwise, it was a great museum.

I went on a small trip on my own to get away from the city during the pandemic & see some shooting stars. I stayed 3 nights & arrived in the evening. You can see/ visit everything in the Black Mesa in 2 full days, I could have left an evening earlier. Jane & Bob were very welcoming & I followed her in my car to the cottage (right next to the guest house) in Kenton. The guest house & cottage are in the town of Kenton & their ranch is clearly marked from the side of the road. I am terrible with directions but Google maps guided me right there. The cottage has a fully functioning kitchen with a fridge/freezer, gas oven, toaster oven, microwave, & most importantly, a coffee maker. There are some cooking utensils in the drawers. There is a full bathroom, electricity, small tv, & AC units. I visited in the 100+ degree summer & was cool the entire time I was inside. Like others have mentioned, I would stop in Guymon for groceries/gas & essentials. Boise City is the last stop with the closest gas station ~30 miles away. With permission, I explored the back of their property & it was just the adventure I was looking for. They have beautiful horses, though i did not ride them. Jane pointed out a small cave on the back of their property & I found a secret lookout spot overlooking the mountain going off trail a bit. Jane brought a couple of towels over once & checked in to see how I was doing the afternoon before I left. She was respectful of my privacy & made sure I felt safe. This is a perfect spot to stay if you're traveling alone & want the luxuries of home. Kenton is in a U-shape & everyone in town is friendly but very respectful of your space. I wish the Apples nothing but the best!

At night was a beautiful view of part of the Black Mesa.

I would definitely go back, just to get away for a few days from the city.

The Folsom site in NM helped give definitive proof that Indigenous people were here long before even thought at the time, pushing dates to 10-12 thousand years. (Ice ages). The story of how George McJunkin who found this needs to be told more. If you really like history you should appreciate this site & story. Cell phone coverage is spotty here, so you may not be able to check in on Yelp, but I wouldn't let that deter you from booking a tour of the actual site &/or seeing original artifacts.
