One Day in Plano, Texas

This interesting little museum is housed in a building that used to be one of the primary stations on the route of the Texas Electric Railway that used to run between Denison and Dallas. The museum tells the history and importance of this rail line through a lot of really cool pictures and antiques. One of the original rail cars has been beautifully restored and is proudly displayed in front of the building. The current train stop in downtown Plano is only about a block and a half away from the museum, which seems like an appropriate way to arrive. The best part about the museum is that admission is free. However, operating hours are limited, so call ahead or check their website to make sure you dont miss out.

The Cockroach Hall of Fame Museum is a very odd and hilarious attraction. I highly recommend a visit here for a good laugh and for some serious pest control research. The museum is full of dead cockroaches that are wearing costumes and posed in various settings. Some are modeled after famous people, like Liberoache, a cockroach playing a grand piano. The museum is located inside the headquarters of an actual pest control company. The proprietor literally puts his work on display. After killing the bugs, he suits them up and poses them for our enjoyment. If you are bothered by cockroaches, this may not be the place for you. But, if you are into quirky and unusual displays, you will most likely enjoy a visit here.
