Chicken Plucker, Hot Lead Typesetting, Medical

The Museum houses many items from history including a motorized chicken plucker used in a former slaughterhouse, a Linotype hot lead typesetting machine, to a complete medical museum acquired from the Dr. Luther Gohlke family of Ranger. We have stories of Eastland Counties' most infamous residents including Old Rip, the horned toad that survived 31 years in the cornerstone of an Eastland County Courthouse; Josiah 'Doc" Scurlock, who rode with Billy the Kid and was a part of the Lincoln County wars and more.
