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:
“The heritage of the American Revolution is forgotten, and the American government, for better and for worse, has entered into the heritage of Europe as though it were its patrimony—unaware, alas, of the fact that Europe’s declining power was preceded and accompanied by political bankruptcy, the bankruptcy of the nation-state and its concept of sovereignty.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“I think that New York is not the cultural center of America, but the business and administrative center of American culture.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
