Muleshoe Heritage Center is a museum of six outdoor buildings and other artifacts which commemorate life in the United States' West Texas ranching country. It is located at 2000 Ash Street off U.S. Highways 70 and 84 in west Muleshoe, the seat of Bailey County, Texas, which borders New Mexico.
The visitor center is located in a former depot of the Pecos and Northern Texas Railway Company, which was moved to the current site in 1985 and dedicated in 1987. The former ticket and passenger waiting room of the depot is furnished with period furniture, lace curtains, and burgundy drapes. The center contains historical pictures and memorabilia, a small office area, and a meeting room with full kitchen used for senior citizens, bridal showers, receptions, and reunions.

Famous quotes containing the words heritage and/or center:
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“Actually being married seemed so crowded with unspoken rules and odd secrets and unfathomable responsibilities that it had no more occurred to her to imagine being married herself than it had to imagine driving a motorcycle or having a job. She had, however, thought about being a bride, which had more to do with being the center of attention and looking inexplicably, temporarily beautiful than it did with sharing a double bed with someone with hairy legs and a drawer full of boxer shorts.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
