Buckhorn Saloon and Museum

Lonely Planet review

The Buckhorn Hall of Horns, Fins & Feathers is one of the best kitsch spots around. The halls of mounted stuffed animals are as disgusting as any such collection, but this one features extra oddities such as a two-headed cow and a nine-legged goat.

Schlockier still are the maps of Texas formed with rattlesnake rattles, a wonderful collection of Lone Star Beer paraphernalia (like a guitar made from pull-tabs) and the pièce de résistance, the wax museum.

The wax museum was clearly assembled by buying figures from other museums and changing the costumes. In one diorama, Teddy Roosevelt consults with what's got to be Alan Ladd, and in another, it's Tom Selleck (Magnum PI) as General Robert E Lee.

Wrap up your visit with a couple of miserable Lone Star draft beers, served in the taxidermist heaven they call a saloon.
