The Dimmit County Public Library and Wade House Museum offer books, objects, and events to enrich one's understanding of American Indian groups that inhabited Texas long before the Spanish arrived.
J. W. House, a teacher from Carrizo Springs, collected pre-Columbian artifacts in and around Dimmit County for over 50 years. His investigations resulted in an impressive collection of projectile points, many of which are visible at the Wade House Museum. The adjacent Dimmit County Public Library is the perfect place to learn more about the people that used these points to hunt mastodon.
Rows of books and archeological artifacts offer an ideal learning experience for anyone curious about the prehistory of Texas.
