We had a great trip to the Pioneer West Museum in Shamrock, Texas yesterday! We were able to view and document a collection of prehistoric artifacts that the museum recently acquired and we had a wonderful visit with museum director De-An Turner!

The museum is closed right now because we are getting a new porch. It is going to be absolutely beautiful! I am so excited to see the finished results!

Today, I had the opportunity to visit with Lisa and Scott Brosowke from Perryton. They are with Courson Archaeological Research. They came to look at an arrowhead collection that we had just recently received. I learned so much interesting information from them today.

Thank you again for coming, Scott and Lisa. I truly enjoyed our visit. Take care. ☘️🙂☘️
