"To collect, maintain, preserve, and promulgate the rural and
frontier history of the former village of Medicine Mound, Texas in particular,
and of Hardeman County, TX in general; to operate, maintain, expand, and
improve the educational opportunities at the Downtown Medicine Mound Museum
and surrounding properties; to engage and inform the public through the
compilation, preservation, and exhibition of period artifacts; or engage
in any other educational activity deemed appropriate by the Corporation."
The unique architecture of the two remaining buildings is what gives
this little ghost town its unique frontier character, as illustrated
in the photo above. These round granite stones
were
"imported" from Okahoma soon after a suspicious fire burned the
entire business district - a form of frontier fire insurance,
if you will. Want to learn why so much labor was invested into rebuilding
? Check out the stories section for some riveting
tales.
