Texas Curiosities brings to the reader with humor and affection—and a healthy dose of attitude—the oddest, quirkiest, and most outlandish places, personalities, events, and phenomena found within the state’s borders and in the chronicles of its history. From the world’s largest squirrel (property of Cedar Creek) to the world’s oldest washing machine (at the Washing Machine Museum in Mineral Wells), Texas Curiosities is a who's who of unusual and unsung heroes that will amuse Texas residents and visitors alike.
