The museums and exhibits encountered range from the fascinating Dr Pepper Museum in Waco to the Devil's Rope Museum, recounting the history of barbed wire, in McLean to the infamous Texas School Book Depository in Dallas. Among Texas's colorful historic sites are the Alamo in San Antonio and Ysleta in El Paso, the state's oldest mission. Texas is also home to the world's biggest honky tonk, Billy Bob's in Fort Worth, and the Live Music Capital of the World, as Austin, the state capital, is otherwise known.
