Southwest Dairy Museum

The Southwest Dairy Museum, located in Sulphur Springs, Texas, showcases the important effect the dairy industry had on the town's growth. The museum, which consists of a convert|10000|sqft|m2|sing=on facility, serves as the headquarters for the many activities sponsored by the Southwest Dairy Farmers.Cite web|url=http://www.southwestdairyfarmers.com/museum.sstg|title=Southwest Dairy Farmers: Museum|accessdate=2008-05-05] The idea for the museum came in 1982 when several in the dairy industry came up with the idea of preserving artifacts and historical documents related to the dairy industry in the United States, and specifically in rural areas. The museum became a reality in 1991 and included a fleet of Mobile Dairy Classrooms that travel to schools and other areas.Cite web|url=http://www.southwestdairyfarmers.com/museum_history.sstg|title=History of the Museum|accessdate=2008-05-05|publisher=Southwest Dairy Farmers] Cite web|url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=SAEC&p_theme=saec&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EAFE8231DF3B775&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM|title=Volunteer Teaches Kids Where Stores Get Milk|accessdate=2008-05-05|year=1998-02-10|author=Jesse Clements|work=San Antonio Express-News]
