    Great museum. Buddy Holly memorial. Informative. They kept things that were used by Buddy Holly such as his bike, eye glass, recordings, guitars, pictures, his tshirts, other attires and belongings. They show a documentary on Buddy Holly that I also liked. Great place for those who has interest in the history of rock n Rolla music and it’s pioneer, Buddy Holly. Entry fee only $5. No waiting time on weekdays.
