The town is a center for agriculture and industry, including oil and gas production, clothing factories, peanut shelling and drying plants, feed mills, milk processing, saddle and rope making, and metal stamping, and was one of the first in the state to have streetcars. The Dublin Historical Museum at 116 W. Blackjack is a step-back in time – an inviting look at how Dublin used to be: how we lived, how we learned, how we made our living, how we worshipped. You don’t have to be a Dubliner to be totally absorbed by the artifacts and memorabilia in this outstanding museum. Open seven days a week from 1 to 5 p.m. (except major holidays). (254) 445-4550. Right next door to the Dublin Historical Museum is the Dublin Rodeo Heritage Museum which celebrates Dublin’s colorful rodeo history. The rodeo of the 40s and 50s was a joint project of Everett Colborn and cowboy singing star Gene Autrey. The museum pays tribute to the many area cowboys and cowgirls who played a role in the rodeo legend, in Dublin and at Madison Square Garden, the next stop after the performers and stock was taken by railcar to New York.
