Lefty Frizzell Country Museum and Statue
Lefty Frizzell Country Museum
Location: Corsicana, Texas Pioneer Village in Jester Park Housed in a shotgun shack, the Lefty Frizzell Country Museum is a collection of memorabilia and artifacts from Frizzell’s meteoric career. The collection includes handwritten lyrics, records, posters, and a sequined suit made by Nudie, the noted costume designer. Before he died, Lefty’s father supported the museum, but most of the items were donated by Ralph Spicer and Jimmie Colburn, two former bandmates. Don’t miss the custom boots with Frizzell’s name inlaid in colored leather. The Frizzell Museum is part of a compound of historic buildings that includes several extensive archives of unique photographs, guns, and tools from the area’s colorful past. Pioneer Village is in Jester Park on the west side of Corsicana off Second Street (TX 22) at 912 W. Park St. The museums are open Monday-Saturday 9am-5pm, and Sunday 1-5pm.
