The Devil's Rope Museum is working hard to maintain a site that everyone can enjoy, especially those students, teachers, and historians who may need information about barbed wire.

We are telling the world all about the history of barbed wire, its artifacts, the significance of the invention, and the impact on the development of the Old West.

Housed in a 12,000 square foot, completely renovated, former brassier factory, the numerous exhibits show thousands of wire specimens both common and rare. Other exhibits feature tools and devices used in fence construction and maintenance.

More than you even knew existed about barbed wire! This is not your typical museum. It's in a very small town, but just off of highway 40 and old route 66. And it houses a very expansive museum of barbed wire: history of it, examples of various styles, manufacturing tools, use in warfare, art, etc. If you are anywhere near McLean, TX, you really need to stop by and visit! And of course, there is a gift shop where you can buy small lengths of barbed wire from historical ranches. by brondsem on Thu, 07/31/2008 - 22:58
