Nederland, TX, near Port Arthur was the home of Tex Ritter, America's first true cowboy star. He started singing on a Houston radio station before moving to California in 1936. He was the voice of High Noon and numerous other western films.
Nederland was settled by Dutch immigrants and this little windmill museum is filled with delightful wooden clogs, blue and white delftware. Nederland is actually a Dutch word for Netherlands which means "lowlands".
Right next door is La Maison De Acadiens house to represent the many French settles in the area.
