The main reason for stopping in Broadus was Mac’s Museum, which houses, among other things, 20,000 seashells. Boots and Kassie share a love of and have quite a collection of seashells, so this was a must. Given the high temps and the museum not having AC, Boots rushed off to see the seashells after crawling out from under the RV and doing a quick shower. She parked the truck under a big shade tree and did a speedy tour, while keeping one eye on the temp.
“Mac” McCurdy, born 1888, collected, identified and catalogued the specimens. He left his collection to the town and it’s housed at the Powder River Museum, which is well worth several hours of attention (in cooler temps). Museum is free, run by volunteers, 2 of whom are 90+.
