DinoMike Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 The town of Bonham, Texas houses the Fannin County Museum of History. It contains many artifacts of the region's history, including many fossils & various arrowheads, spear points & stone tools found in or near the NSR. The address is 1 N. Main St., Bonham, TX 75418. Admission is free, although they do request a donation of any amount to help cover operating expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DinoMike Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 I need to check this out. When is it open? Advance warning... the fossils don't necessarily match the signs. If you look at the second photo, you'll see a mosasaur vert next to a sign reading "unidentified mammal vertebrae" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DinoMike Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 That looks like a cool place to go! It is! They have the fossils & artifacts from the NSR, as well as clothing, tools & weapons from the earliest days of the county, and even a restored WWII trainer airplane on display in the exhibit covering Jones Field, the airfield in Bonham that served as a training field for the US Army Air Corps in WWII. The building itself is the restored Texas & Pacific Railway Depot for Bonham, built in 1900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
