The Bolin Wildlife Exhibit houses an eclectic group of collections and is, in part, a dedication to the life of big game hunter, rancher and oil man W. Perry Bolin. The wildlife section is an educational exhibit that collects a stunning amount of taxidermy, mainly from Africa and North America, mostly of which were bagged by Mr. Bolin himself. Other exhibits include a display of antique Oil industry memorabilia including antique cars & wagons, gas pumps and more. Other exhibits include reconstructions of an early 1900s Collin County tenant cotton farm including a parlor, kitchen, bedroom and an extensive antique farming tools collection. |
