Tales N' Trails Museum - Nocona, Texas

Great local museum. Ticket is $10 per person and parking seems to be somewhat limited.

Learned a great deal about Nocona boots 👢 and a few local folks. The person at the counter was also providing the tour and was very knowledgeable and had great personal stories to share. Recommend!

One of the most educational and fun museums we have been through in Texas. Staff immediately greeted us upon walking in, explained a bit about the museum and visitor info. Several rooms held artifacts and tons of information on Natives as wells as the settlers that followed. Interactive spaces for kids, and a visual smorgasbord for anyone interested in the history of Montague County. Outside the museum there were several antiqued pieces of farming equipment as well as an old settlers cabin a person could explore. Everything inside the museum has been cared for, and the immaculate display of artifacts were obviously well taken care of. This is a must see stop for visitors inside and outside of Montage County.

I almost didn't stop at this museum. I'd seen it on Google Maps. But, I had an itinerary and wanted to make sure I got every stop I wanted. But, having driven up there to see where Red River Station (Chisholm Trail crossing) was and Spanish Fort (site of old native American community and town for the cowboys on the Chisholm Trail, I figured I should at least check it out. Wow! Wonderful people who know their history. This is a very well designed little museum that has an excellent collection of artifacts and is educational and engaging. I would definitely go back.

Fun local history about Nocona. Well worth the stop to learn a bit and stretch your legs. Amazing exhibits especially about native history in the area.

Was halfway done when I went, but the exhibits are really nice! The collection of leather goods are amazing, the old boots were really cool! And the framed carvings are fantastic. I highly recommend it!

This museum is such a hidden gem. Very well put together with impressive and informative displays. I really liked how this museum showed a very rich history of the area. You can tell it was set up and is cared for by people who are passionate about the history of Nocona/Montague county. The outdoor area was fun to explore...that house full of things from the era was really cool. It was a really hot day and I will be back in cooler temps to explore more of the outside stuff. I spent some time chatting with the woman who was running it and she was super friendly. All in all, a great visit!

My wife and I recently vacationed in Nacona Texas. If you are familiar with old west this is the place to go! The Tales N' Trails Museum is the best small town museum we have been in. The entry fee was very reasonable and money well spent.
Nacona is the Western Town modeled in the old west movies and shows, and the museum says it all. Local history is well explained and documented. A very lot of work and time went into the displaying of the antiques and treasures.
Between the locally hand made base ball gloves and boots, not to forget the food, Nacona Texas is time well spent, especially if you need to wind down.
Don't forget the Red River Valley and Chisolm Cattle Trail.
A must see town and local area to explore.

What a great experience chatting with the 2 ladies at the museum. I had such a great time with them and learning about what the museum had to offer. I can no thank you enough for being so friendly. I will return!!! And thank you for helping me with the coffee mug dilemma.
