Billy the Kid Outlaw/Kennedy Assasination/Go To Hell Bin Laden Museum in Canton?

[Tyrone Biggums]

I've driven by this place countless times over the years and always wondered about it, but never stopped to investigate as it seemed shady as fuck/possible murderrape. I noticed over the weekend some signage was gone and the place has either been sold or is for sale. I'm betting it will just be torn down.

After some googling I didn't find much, but did run across a small photo album someone shared here:

Anyone ever check it out for the hell of it?

I drove by it about 2-3 months ago and it was closed and for sale. Not sure how it survived for as long as it did, unless the the guy running the place owned the building

Apparently the place was owned by a "historian" named Jannay Valdez. His focus was on Billy the Kid, Bonnie & Clyde and the Kennedy assassination. It appears the place was sold at his retirement auction, but any info related to place is sparse, sketchy, creepy, and/or interesting.
A lot of the searching surrounds the basic idea that BTK was not killed by Pat Garrett and escaped to live on as "Brushy Bill" Roberts in Hamilton, TX until his death in 1950. There were actually plans to exhume the body for DNA testing, yet it was struck down by the city council of Hamilton. I'll spare the rest, but if you're in to that kind of stuff or bored, there's more out there.

Not yet, but we plan to. We'll probably try and go late November before it gets crazy busy.

There's a pretty good amount of lights and there are a few other things to do other than look at the lights. My kids enjoy it, but make sure you're there an hour before opening, the line gets long fast.
