My son had a football game today in Corsicana, so I figured it was a good opportunity to get a few letterboxes while I was in town. Our first stop was at Pioneer Village, which is a small "town" of homes and buildings from the 1800's which have been moved here from their original locations around Navarro County. The letterbox was located in the jail, and the clue gave some history of Bonnie and Clyde.
Here is where we found the letterbox in the jail.
Of course, we had paid our fee, so we looked around the entire village. Here was the jail transporting system. This cell was placed on a truck to transport prisoners to various locations.
Then we saw McKie's Playhouse, which had lots of dolls and toys on display.
Next we visited a small home. It always amazes me when I see the kitchens from long ago. I wonder how they survived with what seems to me an inadequate space.
Also located at Pioneer Village is the Lefty Frizzell Museum, the musician who sang "If You've Got The Money, Honey, I've Got The Time" among many other songs. There was much memorabilia, and his music playing in the background. Here is one of his coats.
There was also plenty of transportation at Pioneer Village, including a wagon, antiquated farm equipment, and a carriage.
We visited the Indian trader,
saw the sword shop,
passed the tack shed,
saw the inside of a dog run house,
passed the mule drawn corn mill,
and peeked inside Uncle Joe's Cabin.
This was a really neat chair we saw made of horns.
Outside we saw a well and a stagecoach.
There were several historical signs at Pioneer Village. This one was about Alma Everett Taylor, the founder of Pioneer Village.
Our last two stops were the blacksmith,
and general store.
