World’s Devil’s Rope Museum
Title:World’s Devil’s Rope Museum
Location:McLean, Texas
Description:A museum of barbed wire — that’s what The Devil’s Rope Museum is — can’t help but raise questions. One of ours was: “Do you stock band-aids?” And they do. Barbed wire has many fans in the Texas panhandle. The prairie provided no trees or rocks to make fences when the settlers arrived. They couldn’t separate the crops from the cows. Did they throw up their hands and give the land back to the Indians and Mexicans? Heck no! American ingenuity came to the rescue in the form of barbed wire — thousands of varieties — and most of them are on display in the Devil’s Rope Museum.
