Valley of the Caddo Museum & Cultural Center, Paris TX

Very nice displays. Had a robotic dinosaur head with sound! Kids loved it. Had Train portraitures, and the artist, Yoko Mazza, was present, and train photos by Steve Crise were all very nice. Also had free photo taken. Was a minature of the city of Paris with an electric train running around it! Go see the exhibits, take the kids!

Very interesting exhibits, I was not expecting much when I walked in, however there was a lot more things than what I expected!

Smaller than anticipated, staff was very friendly. You'll spend far more time at the Lamar county museum across the street.

Valley of the Caddo ᙏuseum & Cultural Center represents the history & culture of Lamar, Delta, Fannin, & Red River Counties. The Caddo ᙏuseum is both non-profit & volunteer-run. It's in the northeast end of the old Depot Bldg across W Kaufman from the Coca-Cola bottling plant. The facility is kept pristinely. It's orderly & all the exhibits are professionally presented.
They started this location w/ local fossils & ancestral memorabilia in 2014. Now (2020) there's a cool "Tesla Room, " w/ displays of fossils, guns & the like, that draw your interest.
? The Caddo ᙏuseum offers several workshops & is frequently home to traveling educational displays, which I really enjoyed when I visited.
The volunteers are exceptional courteous, engaging, knowledgeable & attentive, making sure you enjoy your visit.
I'll be back
