Kind of a sad thing.
I remember when the big swap meet was held out there at Lake Benbrook and getting stuck in the mud what seemed like every year.
The old man would come down with that big red tractor and pull folks to dry ground.
Time marches on I guess.

Thanks for posting the link, looks like a great place to spend a few hours. Anyplace that displays old cars, trucks and airplanes together like that is pretty cool. A nice old diner nearby would make it a complete day trip for me.

Sad to see another piece of history closing. I wonder if it will be bought as a whole or auctioned off to the high bidder in pieces.

I guess it's my fault, I've driven by there a hundred times and never even thought about stopping. I think I will go check it out before it closes. :?

Yeah, that's a real shame. One of the things I like to do when I'm on the road is to drive around 90-100 mph, so I'll have a little extra time to stop at all the little progress museums like the one in Pate. There's a good one in Minden, NE.

I wanted to go the gopher museum while I was in Alberta, but it was closed for the season... but that's another story.
