Devil's Rope and Route 66 Museum

About Us

Welcome to the Devil's Rope Museum, home to one of the world's largest collections dedicated to the history of barbed wire and the people who helped shape the American West. Since opening our doors in 1991, we've been preserving the stories, inventions, and innovations behind "Devil's Rope" and its impact on ranching, farming, and westward expansion.

As you explore our exhibits, you'll discover thousands of unique barbed wire varieties, historic fencing tools, ranching artifacts, and fascinating stories that reveal how a simple invention forever changed the American landscape. Housed alongside the Texas Route 66 Museum, we also invite you to experience the rich history of the Mother Road through vintage memorabilia, recreated scenes, and exhibits celebrating the people and places that made Route 66 legendary.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, a Route 66 traveler, or simply curious about one of America's most unique museums, we invite you to stop in, explore, and discover the stories that helped build the West.
