post office, is the apt-named Geronimo Springs Museum holding
many collections of historical interest.
There are exhibits of indian pottery, arrowheads of many designs,
stuffed birds and reptiles, barbed wire of all kinds and sizes,
farm and ranch implements, military uniforms and an 20th century
doctor's office. The Ralph Edwards wing contains photographs of
the man, of his radio shows and television shows. and of his
participation in the T or C annual Fiesta.
