After the Dallas Holocaust Museum, I headed over to Old Red - the old courthouse that is now a museum in downtown Dallas. It is located right across the street from where JFK was shot in 1963.Old Red is absolutely gorgeous!!
And the inside was still decorated for Christmas:
The whole second floor was a museum about Dallas history and culture - there was a TON of stuff to see, but here are a few of my favorite highlights:An oooollllldddd pair of handcuffs!
The gun that Clyde used (of Bonnie and Clyde):
These next few pics are not something I support, condone or agree with, but it's just a part of history. I'm shocked that the organization still exists today - the Ku Klux Klan.Can you believe this?! On this sign it says "Meet Your Friends - Ku Klux Klan Day" at the State Fair of Texas. WHAT?!
Here's an old KKK outfit - VERY creepy and disturbing to see it up close. UGH.
A certificate of someone who joined the KKK - again, just disturbing.
JR Ewing's hat from "Dallas" the TV show!
A Dallas dollar bill that was legal currency a LONG time ago when it was more regional, I guess.
I just loved the stairwells in there - the whole building was really neat.
And since I went at Christmas time, they had a Christmas tree display up!
