scott smithVery interesting and complete history of the area including geological history and the people and oil industry development there. The second floor has sports, entertainment and political people that most will recognize. Janis Joplin, Johnny Winter , and Dallas Cowboy coach Jimmy Johnson for example. I was a little disappointed that the musical giant Janis Joplin wasn’t larger. Still I enjoyed the experience and would recommend it.

Rebecca HallI am 80 years old. I grew up there on 8,th street. What a great place to grow up. My older brother told me he dated Janice Joplin for a short time before she became famous. I really don't know if that is true. It was a total different time..I am the last person in my family from that time Rebecca Katherine Hudson. -Rebeccs k Hall
