Visitor Information
The Heritage Center, which covers some 8 acres (32,000 m2), is open from 1 to 5 p.m. on weekdays. Weekend tours may be arranged by appointment. Donations are encouraged. Several hostesses, such as the retiree Dolores Harvey, conduct tours of the facility. A bicycle race, Tour de Muleshoe, with competition for ten, forty, or one hundred miles, is held each June to raise money for the museum.
The museum is featured in an undated article in the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal by Ray Westbrook entitled "Pieces of the Past: Historic buildings give a glimpse of early ranching life on the South Plains." Aaron Phillips wrote a general article on Muleshoe, which includes information on the Heritage Center, in the Amarillo Globe-News of December 3, 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words visitor and/or information:
“Beauty is ever to the lonely mind
A shadow fleeting; she is never plain.
She is a visitor who leaves behind
The gift of grief, the souvenir of pain.”
—Robert Nathan (1894–1985)
“So while it is true that children are exposed to more information and a greater variety of experiences than were children of the past, it does not follow that they automatically become more sophisticated. We always know much more than we understand, and with the torrent of information to which young people are exposed, the gap between knowing and understanding, between experience and learning, has become even greater than it was in the past.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
