Devil's Rope Barbed Wire Museum Homepage

"HOWDY THERE PARDNER.
WELCOME TO OUR WEB SITE."

"We're pleased to have you visit our site and are proud to show you our stuff!"

The Devil's Rope Museum is working hard to maintain a site that everyone can enjoy, especially those students, teachers, and historians who may need information about barbed wire.

We are telling the world all about the history of barbed wire, its artifacts, the significance of the invention, and the impact on the development of the Old West. Our Mercantile site provides you with the opportunity to purchase books, barbed wire samples, a colorful barbed wire poster suitable for framing, postcards, and various size bundles of collector barbed wire.

Howdy Folks

A special Library Site shows a recommended reading list of books telling the details of barbed wire history. Other sites contain information on how to identify barbed wire, where it can be purchased, and what is going on today in the barbed wire collecting hobby. A new wire collection Appraisal Service is now offered to those needing appraisals for tax, estate, or insurance purposes. Click on this title for further information.

Attention Treasure Hunters!

Phillip Morris/Marlboro is sponsoring some kind of contest/treasure hunt with first prize of $1 million. The questions they are asking: Did a coffee bean grinder and a grind-stone have something to do with the invention of barbed wire and are we the largest barbed wire museum in the world?

"DON'T LEAVE YET, THERE'S MORE."

We have created sites about entanglement wire used in warfare, a monument dedicated to barbed wire, the history of cattle brands, and now follow Old Route 66 Across Texas. We want to make your visit to Texas as easy as possible.

Included also in our museum is information about Texas Route 66, The City of McLean, Texas and other nearby areas so you can make plans to stop by on your next vacation. See the first restored Phillips Service Station in Texas, learn all about the McLean Prisoner of War Camp built during WWII. We'll make it easy for you to stay in a vintage Route 66 Motel, and eat at the world famous Red River Steak House.
