What’s happening at the Saints’ Roost Museum? There are several things – like moving some displays and adding new ones.
An Open House will showcase new displays this Sunday, August 14, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m., and the Museum Board extends an invitation for everyone to come.
The Saints’ Roost Museum Board of Directors is delighted to have received an impressive operational miniature train display. The trains are displayed in the 1887 Ft. Worth & Denver Railroad Depot at the Museum. This generous gift was given by Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Harriman of Amarillo. Mr. Harriman has had his miniature trains as an on-going project for more than half a century. The Museum Board feels very honored to be the recipient of such a generous gift. You can view how the trains operate during the Open House, and you may also meet Mr. and Mrs. Harriman at that time.
The Museum has also received this past week a beautiful photograph taken by Sandy Skelton of Clarendon. He is also a Museum Board member, and the photograph was taken near Goodnight and shows the beauty of our sunrises in the Texas Panhandle. This photograph is a must see.
Earlier this year, the Museum received a gift of arrowheads and flint from the estate of Clayton Ferris. These items were collected in Donley County, and they are on display in the Indian Room.
In the near future the Museum will have another interesting display for you to come and see.
