Sometimes the travel blog takes you only five miles from home. After four years living in Humble, Texas we finally visited The Humble Museum. “Humble” is an adjective meaning modest, but in this case, Humble is the name of a Texas town. It’s pronounced without the ‘H’ because in 1886 when Pleasant Humble applied for a post office, the town adopted his pronunciation of his name, ‘umble. You would think he was a Brit, but, no, he was a Kentucky-born Louisianan Civil War vet who operated a ferry across the San Jacinto.
I do love small town museums as you know if you’ve been following my blog for a while. Here is a sampling of the exhibits. There was also more history, narrow gauge railroad artifacts, train wreck news, oil well fire fighters, an old school bus, and more.
