Southwest Dairy Museum — Attraction in Sulphur Springs

This is a free, educational stop for travelers along I-30, and the museum is only a few miles off the highway.

Stop and enjoy the cold AC while waking through and absorbing all you never knew about dairy cows, the milk they produce, and the engineering processes to attain that milk over the years.

Begin your journey by taking photos of the Texas-size heifers by the road, then enter the museum, sign the guestbook, and continue to the right by following the cow hoof prints on the floor!

There are plenty of hands-on stations along the hoof-print journey through the museum, and a lot of fun-filled facts to read about!

This museum is a tribute to the hard workers of the industry - both past and present. It is small and quaint; very well maintained and clean. The staff are super-friendly and helpful.

There is a conference room for meetings, a tiny gift shop, and an ice cream parlor with a food court area.

There's a donation drop box on the right as you exit....and don't forget to check out the rare Milk Cart (from the 1930s in Chicago) outside and to the left.

All ages are welcome, and it is wheelchair accessible.

If this info was helpful, please give me a LIKE!

THANKS, Brian...

Woud have been NICE if the website showed the museum was closed instead of open for normal bussiness. Arrived to find a sign on the door that stated they were closed. Upon calling the number on the door which was the front desk in the lobby. I was informed they are trying to decide what to do about covid a year later. Maybe allow people to tour the museum and wear mask and practice social distinsing like the rest of the communities are doing. Also as it may be my fault that I did not call first, but one would think the website woud have current updated information. Good news was the square in town is still open so we were able to not have total dissspoitment for...

This place feels like it hasn't seen a facelift or update since 2003. Most of the TV's above the display cases were off. The one lone employee at the front desk was bothered that we wanted to purchase something from the back portion of the museum that is dressed up like a soda fountain shop. Using a debit/credit card, we needed to purchase more than $5 to make a transaction. That seemed standard. But a Blue Bunny fudge bar, an A&W root beer, and an off brand 8oz cookies and cream ice cream cup shouldn't cost $6.25. Maybe I'm wrong. But if I'm not, go ahead and skip this place....
