Gilmer, Texas

General, History, Library

While some Texans travel all over the world visiting museums, there is one Gilmer, Texas, man who has built his own. Larry W. Osborne has taken memorabilia from his many travels and what could he do with all that? Of course, he built a literary museum. The two-room structure is located behind the Osborne home at 917 Madelaine Street. For more than forty years he has collected memorabilia pertaining to American Presidents, British Royalty, American and British authors and characters.

Since the museum is almost filled to its capacity, collectibles are now finding locations inside the home, especially in the garage and study.

Visitors to the museum first receive an audio tour pointing our some of the special collectibles.
