Burton Cotton Gin Museum

I've never been to the Burton Cotton Gin Museum .

Located in Burton, TX, this museum was a working cotton gin built in 1914. Today you can take guided tours of the cotton gin to find out what it was like when in use. The tours are conducted at 10, 1 and 3 from Sept to May. In the summer they are only offered at 10 because it gets too hot inside the gin in these months.

On the weekend of April 20-21 you can attend the cotton gin festival. There will be antique machinery, musical entertainment, parades, arts and crafts, food and children's activities. You can buy advanced admission or pay at the gate. Admission on Sunday is free.

That I'd like to see.
