West of Ft. Worth on HWY 377, near the town of Cresson, is the Pate Museum of Transportation.   It is an awesome place to take kids for a fun, educational trip that the whole family will enjoy.
Mr. A. M. Pate, Jr., started the musem in 1969 with a small collection.  It has grown through the years and now has treasured antique cars, airplanes, a railway palace car, Army tanks, a Navy minesweeper, to name a few.

When we went, our son really liked the periscope and enjoyed looking through it to see what was outside.  That was one of his and his friends’ favorite parts.

Many senior citizens could take a walk down memory lane looking at some of the vehicles. The two rarest cars are a 1917 Premier, which is probably the only model of its kind in existence and has a push-button transmission, and a 1904 Schacht, which looks like a horseless carriage.

It’s a fun place for the whole family, no matter what their age. Click to see more pictures from the museum.
