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)
“On the breasts of a barmaid in Sale
Were tattooed the prices of ale;
And on her behind
For the sake of the blind
Was the same information in Braille.”
—Anonymous.
