A gift to the people of Orangefield, the Cormer museum is the lifetime work of oilman Paul Cormier. He wanted to fashion a town as he remembered from his youth. As different buildings around his area were being dismantled, he collected what he could and built his own town under a large tin roof. His town contains a 1920s “replication” of various places of business like a jail, bank, saloon, boarding house, post office, dentist office, a school, a general store, and a soda fountain. This small town would represent not only old Orangefield, but also many other small country towns all across the south.
