    Lonesome Dove is my favorite movie so to see the actual costumes, props and artifacts from the movie was pretty cool!

    This place is an outstanding free museum and everyone should take advantage of it. The curtis edwards indian photographs and the lonesome dove exhibit are awesome. I also like the little king of the hill.

    Well worth your time. Bill Wittliff's photographs from the set of Lonesome Dove are magnificent, as well as the Viva Terlingua collection.
