The world has experienced unprecedented changes and the city of Breckenridge is no exception. The city has been more fortunate than most. Our community has come through the retirement of our City Manager, revenue shortfalls forcing the reduction of service, many administrative trials and tribulations, the pandemic, winter weather, flooding, and staffing shortages. Despite the last year, we have managed to actually turn the negatives into positives. We have been able to qualify for more projects and grants, as well as, receiving funding from federal programs. The federal funding is only provided through the form of reimbursement, and has strict requirements on what and how these funds can be used.
growth is upon us; many permits pulled for updates to existing homes and businesses; and property that the city has had signed over for clean-up and/or destruction of dangerous structures, have sold and are back on the taxroll. These buyers are building new residential and commercial facilities.

While it’s hard to track down the artist for each and every one of the 11 murals, artist Billy Ines takes home the honor of having painted several of them. Ines was inspired from several photos taken in black and white throughout Breckenridge’s history. These photos came from local legend Basil Clemons, who not only helped pioneer colored photographs, but took thousands of photos of the buildings, events and people during hisAftertime.Breckenridge had acquired several of them over the years, those close with the city applied to the state to be anointed as the “Mural Capital of Texas.” Th is was made official January 2001. Though, the city’s development in this regard isn’t all complete. A few of the murals have only been around for a decade or so and one is currently being restored. The murals are scattered around downtown, with some even in earshot of each other. See if you can find them using the map provided.

“The name is misspelled,” Clark said. “Somewhere there was a problem with the spelling.”
Breckenridge itself is named after John C. Breckinridge, who served as vice president under the 15th President of the U.S. James Buchanan. Once the confederate states seceded, he became the Secretary of War for the confederate. He was, and still is, the youngest vice president ever to serve office.
Peter Swenson, who the museum is named after, left some oil income to the center, which helped support the museum for years. While there is still some money that comes in from that stream, it’s not as much as it used to be, as the oil boom has since left Breckenridge. Now the museum mostly receives its money from local donations, grants, the United Fund and as of late, the city and county, which are in their fi rst year of funding. Swenson Board President Lyn Clark estimated the museum’s yearly expenses sit at about $25,000 annually.
The museum and its history While the goal of the museum is to maintain history, it has been a part of history itself. The museum is housed in the old First National Bank building on Walker Street in Breckenridge. First National Bank moved across the street, to the old Burch Hotel, in the mid-70s. In response to the new vacancy, a group from town wanted to preserve the history of the area. As a result, the museum was opened on the U.S.’s bicentennial, July 4, 1976. The center gets by with three employees and a series of volunteers.
Breckenridge, banks and buckaroos all take center-stage at the Swenson Memorial Museum, whose goal above all else is to preserve and chronicle the history of Stephens County and the area it calls home. Being located in the heart of Walker Street, Swenson is equipped to do just this.
Due to its location in the old bank, the museum has been able to imbed itself into the history of the area. In the center of the lobby sits what used to be old bank teller windows. If you catch the light just right, you can see the imprints of where people used to stand all those years ago.
Before it became Breckenridge though, it started out as Picketville in 1854. The museum has a section dedicated to chronicling the town’s early days and has diaries from a couple of the residents that gives insight into the lives of the community. Picketville was located at the base of Donkey Mountain, which sits north of Breckenridge on the east side of U.S. Highway 183. In its heyday, Breckenridge used to be an oil center, housing up to 30,000 people at one point in time. But after the oil left, the people went with it, onto the next oil boom.
“He would not sell it to Kodak, he refused,” Clark said. “He said, ‘I discovered it, you can discover it.’” He kept his money in his boot and took photos that captured the history of Breckenridge Boomtown.
On the top floor, you’ll find several rooms that resemble old offices of past residents of Stephens County, such as lawyers and doctors. There’s also a room with old toys from past lives, and glasswork from the Great Depression. Sports has also been given attention, as several displays on both floors have old Buckaroo uniforms and letterman jackets. Banners, pennants, photos and trophies line these exhibits, including a display for the late Jerry Tubbs, who passed away in 2012, but in his lifetime cemented himself as a local legend.
It’s estimated that around 20,000 photos from Clemons are housed at the University of Texas at Arlington. Clark said Clemons lived and developed his photos out of a vardo, commonly called a gypsy wagon.
Some of this work includes his experimentation with color and panoramas of the town. There is also a photo of the landscape of Stephens County showing all the oil rigs during the boom. Pat Dudley Green, who works at the museum, said there were around 1,400 oil rigs at the time.
Tubbs played and won championships with the Breckenridge Buckaroos, then won national titles with the University of Oklahoma, winning all 31 games he played in during his time from 1954 to 1956. He then went on to become the fi rst round pick for the Chicago Cardinals in 1957 and ended up spending the bulk of his career with the Dallas Cowboys, who started as an expansion team in 1960. He was with them until 1967 and coached the team’s linebackers for 21 years, winning two Super Bowls and competing in five.
Other knick-knacks and items in the museum that show it’s history and age include several old bank vaults that have been repurposed into archives of historical documents for anyone wanting to come in and research.
The museum has several photos of him and his work, including some of him just laying out in his wagon.
The museum consists of two stories of accessible exhibits. In what used to be the bank teller windows now stands scaled replicas of the Native Americans and how Stephens County used to be. The Native American heritage is something Swenson has paid tribute to in several of their exhibits. Other displays include military memorabilia, which shows uniforms, photos and trinkets used by Stephens County veterans in each of the main wars dating back through the 20th“(Thcentury.emuseum) is dedicated to Stephens County,” Clark said. “Everything in here has a connection to the county.”
- 14 - 22-23 Breckenridge Community Guide
He is credited with being one of the fi rst to discover how to make colorized photos. In 1936, Clemons received an offer from Eastman Kodak Company for his secret, but promptly turned it down.
The story of Stephens County and Breckenridge cannot be told without Basil Clemons, who was a photographer born in Alabama, but made his living in Breckenridge.
The exhibits
Other businesses that tell the story of the past include multiple old dairies, a jeweler, First National Bank and the Breckenridge American, which was established in 1920.
The museum has also given attention to the old businesses that used to occupy Breckenridge, including some that still do. R.E. Dye Manufacturing, which was established around 1919, is still standing today.
There was also an architect named David Castle, who was based out of Abilene, Texas. He was responsible for the design of several buildings in Breckenridge and Stephens County, including the Burch Hotel, First Baptist Church, City Hall and a section of Dye Manufacturing, which before being incorporated into Dye’s, served numerous purposes.
“Our bid to clean was $25,000,” Clark said. “Supposedly they would pay $14,000 and we only got $100.”
Green said the hope for the future is to eventually renovate and turn it into an exhibit for old farm equipment. But their fi rst priority still remains the oil museum. To set up the farm exhibit would require them to fi x the leaking roof, which Green estimated would cost aroundDespite$30,000.thehangups, Clark and Green are happy with the museum’s success and estimate they see anywhere from 150 to 200 people per month. Clark added not a week goes by where they don’t have someone bring in items they want to donate.
“They bring (items) to us because they know we’re going to take care of them,” Clark said.
“Th is is a 100-year-old building,” Clark said. “The upkeep is tremendous on it.... It’s constant maintenance.”Thishas been made even more difficult with recent events. A few years back, the museum was broken into and vandalized. However, the vandals came from the upper floor through a fi re escape and found themselves unable to go downstairs, meaning their damage was contained to the second floor.
- 15 -22-23 Breckenridge Community Guide
One plan for the future is right next door, attached to Swenson, which is an oil museum that is currently closed. Clark said there is some work left to be done in it, namely cleaning. She said once it is cleaned, it’ll be open to the public again. The museum also owns a garage near the building.
The future of maintaining the past Clark said the hardest part of maintaining the museum is the upkeep, especially in terms of finances.
Swenson is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. You can find the museum, right off Walker Street, in the old First National Bank building.

In the latter part of the 20th century, the theatre ended up vacant. Th is lasted long enough for the roof to fall in, which prompted a large cleanup.
It was during this time that the Friends of Historic Breckenridge, a non-profit organization formed to develop an interest in our community’s history and to encourage the restoration of existing buildings to their original architectural facades, became involved. The group produced a play titled “Planes, Trains, and Crude Oil.” The play was performed for attendees with no roof overhead. Th is was done with a small stage and assembled dressing rooms using“Itcurtains.wasafabulous play, and it was done several times,” Becky Payne, former FOHB president, said.

To the right of the lobby is a room with a kitchen and area for people to mingle for a type of gettogether. The theatre regularly hosts events and offers rentals for parties. To the left of the lobby sits Mike’s Bar. Photos and art line the wall and show a peek into the past of what was. Today, there sits a television behind the bar, as well as the popcorn machine and velvet rope for people to line up and grab their snacks before the show. Hidden in the back are dressing rooms, storage closets, and supply rooms. There is also a grand piano carefully covered in the back that was used for performances in the past. When FOHB took over in the 1990s, neither of the wings to the left and right were part of the theater. But Payne said when they took over the facility, they had an immediate need to build bathrooms, which made it a priority to secure one of the Whenwings.they began restoring the building, they started with the roof. Then other things, such as the stage, curtains, facade, came next. In 2015 new plush chairs were added to the theatre. And in 2018, a fundraiser was held to upgrade the theatre’s projector new cinema-quality one. After surviving the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and after over a year of being shut down, the theatre happily resumed shows in July 2021. Under the leadership of FOHB’s new board president, Bo Asher, the board raised funds to upgrade the theatre’s lighting system. In May 2021, the new state-of-art lighting installation project was completed, and in 2022, FOHB installed a new surround sound setup. The theater was dealt another blow in May 2022, after a severe thunderstorm brought large hail which caused extensive damage. The theater is back in rebuilding mode, and hopes to resume shows soon.

BIG world inside a
A spirit that expands across history and nations lives within the Breckenridge Fine Arts Center. But regardless of its expansive reach across the country, the goal has always been the same: to bring quality art and culture from a big world to the small town. The museum is host to several exhibits, some permanent and some on loan. Those on loan usually stay at the BFAC for about a month to six weeks. They’ve hosted exhibits such as priceless Aztec relics, which date back to the time when Jesus walked the earth. Director Shalon Taylor Wilson said these relics were dug up around 1522 in Costa Rica. Another exhibit Wilson said they will be hosting eventually is a Texas History exhibit, which will premier in March 2020 and will coincide with Texas History Month.

Their collection Their permanent collection consists of bronzed sculptures, varying in size. Sculptures of titans in many different poses line the west wing of the building. Other items in the permanent collection include Russian portraits of Texas hero Sam Houston and Robert E. Lee, found inside Breckenridge High School yearsPerhapsago. the accent of the BFAC’s permanent collection is their doll exhibit, which is a room that has almost 750 dolls displayed behind glass cases. The dolls vary in origin and design, including some that have heads made of mummified apples. Other dolls include the original Disney dolls, with Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Wilson said the dolls come from all over the world and from all different time periods. Leading into the room is a hallway with pastels of dolls hanging from the wall, almost creating a pathway that leads the visitor to the shrine in the 1,300 square-foot room. Wilson said the doll collection is potentially the most revered in the building. She said people from all over the country come to see“(Thit.ose groups of people) will say, ‘We’ve only read about the dolls you have here,’” Wilson said. “‘Here we can see Addingthem.’”tothe dolls are replica houses and rooms detailed with oldtimey furnishings. There are also mini rugs and quilts in them, which were actually stitched and quilted in a similar manner to real-world items. Wilson said when kids visit the museum a common game she has them play is a version of I-Spy, where she will name a detail within the replica rooms and challenge the children to find it fi rst.

As far as events, Wilson said the largest one by far is the Annual Juried Show. Th is year will mark the 31st show and will have artists from all over the country, and in some cases the world, send in work to try and nab a spot in the museum’s showcase. Wilson said the BFAC will put out advertising all over the United States. Those interested will send photos of their work to Wilson, who will then send those to the juror that had previously been selected. The juror will choose about 100 pieces of work from the bunch, which can be up to a few hundred depending on the year. The museum at that point will give away $5,000 in awards. Th is is where the museum will host their jury award reception, which is no stranger to having artists fly out from all over the country.
Th is led Wilson to begin painting more and more, to the point where today she has paintings hanging up in places all around the world, saying because of the internet and God. These countries include Peru, Germany, France, Australia and all over the U.S. Wilson said she isn’t sure what genre of painting she would be classified as, but said her understanding is something along the lines of abstract impressionism. Some of her subjects include floral, Native American Chiefs and horses. When picking art, Wilson said she cannot let her own biases get in the way of choosing what to display. She said her job is to bring art and variety to Breckenridge. She’s had displays from abstract, to western pieces, to water colors.“I’m not kidding, every day I thank God that I get to do this job,” Wilson said. “I love everything I get to do and it’s something different every day.”
Bringing the world to Breckenridge
At its roots
The BFAC is a non-profit and is run by the Breckenridge Fine Arts and Library Foundation. Wilson said she could not guess how much money it took to run the facility, but outside of the board they survive on donations and local help, including some help from the city. In March, BFAC hosted its annual Casino Night, which Wilson said was the largest fundraiser for them during the year. In the future, Wilson hopes to eventually be able to write grants and put the museum over the top monetarily, allowing them to give back to the community. Above all else, Wilson said her goal was to create a welcoming atmosphere and image for those in the community. She wants children to grow up with the museum and know the value it brings.
The center also caters to the community in a variety of ways. The BFAC also houses a workshop center, which can work as a conference room. It comes with a full kitchen and is available for a number of events, including family reunions or get-togethers.
As far as Wilson’s path, she said she never anticipated taking this road to BFAC. Wilson graduated from Abilene Christian University with a degree in Biology and Microbiology. But as she was finishing, she said she fell in love with caring for special needs children, which was what her Masters degree was focused on. It wasn’t until her sister was pregnant that she found her calling in the art world. Her sister found these small paintings of colorful donkeys and wanted Wilson to try and paint them for her nursery. Prior to this, Wilson had no idea how to paint.
“(The artist) wrote back and said, ‘You get after it, you have a ball and you let me know how it goes,’” Wilson said. “She was so cool. I couldn’t believe it.”
“When I fi rst started working here, I had some artists come in for the jury show,” Wilson said. “They were from the area and they had been chosen for the show... Two or three of them said, ‘I can’t believe I made the show. Everyone in the art world knows if you make the Breckenridge show, you’ve made it.’”
In response, Wilson reached out to the original artist of the donkeys to ask her permission, as she wasn’t sure what legal ramifications existed, if any.
