Supposedly there are over 2000 patents for it, so depending on how interested you are, the visit time varies. The building also houses the Texas Route 66 Museum, which is small or fairly-sized, but still has plenty of memorabilia to check out. There is also a wall that has the pictures of Texas Route 66 Hall of Fame inductees. If you're traveling on the Mother Road, don't skip out on this museum! One last thing to note: they have a cool gift shop so it is very likely you'll find something you collect here.

This old Conoco gas station will look familiar to those who like the movie Cars. Ramone's House of Body Art is an almost exact replica of this. The creators of the movie did an amazing job. It's weird how much they look alike and the neon-while being much more limited than that on Ramone's building-is beautiful, and I'm sure would look even better when it's completely dark out.

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.
