Tombstone Area
 
Amerind Foundation
American Indian Museum & Texas Canyon Picnic area
 
Jacob's Review:  The museum is just a bunch of indian pots and some paintings - it is boring, but the rocks and picnic area is really cool - there is little caves and stuff you can go in. And there used to be indians around here for real!

Dad's Notes:  Museum of Indian Cultures, the Amerind Foundation (Short for American Indian) continues it’s American Indian Culture Research. On display are Shields, weapons, bead work, tools, pottery, clothing and … It is situated among the unique rock formations of Texas Canyon.
     The museum has an extensive pottery and artifact collection - some (like Jacob) may not get much from the collection. However this is the perfect picnic place - with free picnic tables and such unique rock formations.
     Overall recommendation: Save the $20 and don't take the family in the museum, but do stop for the scenery and picnic in Texas Canyon!

Jacob Tip:   You should keep a frisbee in your parents car - it should be as important as a spare tire and a spare bottle of water! Trust me - it will come in handy!
