Ranching and Chuck Wagon Display
While enjoying the Astin Galleries, be sure to see our chuck wagon! Rebuilt by rancher Mervin Peters, this chuck wagon was originally purchased at the Parker Astin Hardware Store in downtown Bryan. Firearms representing the evolution of cowboy guns are also on display along with other cowboy and ranching items.
