Night 2: The Museums Come to Life!

This come-and-go event features actors presenting living history scenes throughout all three museums housed in the Mabee Center, along with hands-on activities for visitors of all ages.

Both events are free and open to the public, with food and refreshments provided.

“We wanted to create something that makes the museum a place of discovery and fun for everyone,” said KayLyn Bean, Director of Museums for the Flying Queens Museum, Jimmy Dean Museum, and Museum of the Llano Estacado. “It’s exciting to see the exhibits come alive in a way that connects people to our history while also offering a great evening out for families and the community.”

Located on 51Æ·²èÔ¼ÅÚ Baptist University’s Plainview campus, Mabee Regional Heritage Center—often called The Mabee—is home to the Jimmy Dean Museum, Museum of the Llano Estacado, and the Flying Queens Museum. Together, the museums preserve and celebrate the people, culture, and history of the South Plains region.
